From the award winning storyteller, Clark R. Burbidge, comes the third book in this popular young adult paranormal time travel adventure series, StarPassage, a non-stop spell-binder with surprises and suspense at every turn.
Teenagers Tim and Martie Carson return with new friends Mike and Ronnie, who are transported by the ancient star relic to experience major events in history: a desperate flight on a WWII bomber introduces them to extraordinary acts of bravery and loyalty; a colony of humble friars acting as first responders during the deadly Black Plague teaches selflessness; getting trapped in the middle of a violent battle at Gettysburg, the Black Hole of Calcutta and the biblical village of Bethany with the dangerous Trackers in hot pursuit shows the spirit of never giving up hope. Readers will also be introduced to twins Courtney and Callie who become mysteriously entwined in an unexpected paranormal twist. The ancient star relic discovered under mysterious circumstances holds the key to unlocking answers that can only be found in these dangerous journeys to the past. In a race against time the characters must learn its secrets while avoiding the powerful shadowy figures, doomed to haunt history, who are drawn to possess the relic for their own wicked purposes.
Travel through history with the Carson family and their expanding group of friends as they struggle to understand the relic's purpose. Can they follow the clues and piece together the puzzle containing the answers they seek before being trapped forever by the evil forces that relentlessly pursue them?
