Product Description

Jack Danielson has spent the last year saving the oceans and the Amazon, attempting to fulfill a prophecy that was written before his birth. Now he’s more than ready to get back to life as a typical teenager and spend some quality time with his girlfriend, P.J. Too bad the world has other plans. Wrenched away once more from those he knows and loves, Jack is thrust through time to the fiery deserts of the future and the frozen tundra of the Arctic, battling cyborgs, zombie warlocks, and scorpions the size of tanks. At least he has Gisco—everyone’s favorite surly telepathic canine—to keep him company, not to mention the Ninja Babe, Eko. And he will finally be reunited with the parents who abandoned him so long ago, in order that he might save their dying planet. But it isn’t only a race to save Earth. As the clock ticks down before the final confrontation with the dreaded Dark Lord, Jack must decide once and for all who he really is—prince of the future or humble human of the present—and choose between the two women who love him.

In this thrilling finale to the Caretaker Trilogy, the end of life as we know it has arrived, and history will be made—or lost—at the hands of one young hero.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 8 Up—Back in New York after a year of breathtakingly dangerous adventures in which he saved the Earth's oceans in Firestorm (2006) and the Amazon in Whirlwind (2008, both Farrar), Jack Danielson hopes to blend in with the crowds in Manhattan, where he has taken a job as a construction worker and resumed his relationship with his girlfriend P.J., now a student at Barnard. Unfortunately, his destiny as Prince of Dann a thousand years in the future makes life as an ordinary 21st-century teenager impossible. He soon finds himself kidnapped and whirled away into a future where much of the Earth is desert and the Arctic has been almost completely destroyed. In this world, Jack's real father, the king, is about to be executed by the forces of the Dark Army, and his real mother is waiting to join Jack on a death-defying quest to free his father from a seemingly impenetrable fortress, defeat the Dark Lord, and save the dying planet. Every bit as fast paced, thrilling, and similar to a gripping computer game as its predecessors, this final volume in the trilogy will keep readers absorbed while presenting them with a valuable warning about the need for environmental awareness.—Ginny Gustin, Sonoma County Library System, Santa Rosa, CA
