  <default-description>WHEN TIME mysteriously stops, young Max Quick must travel across America to find the source of this 'temporal disaster'... Along the way, he and his companions encounter ancient mysteries, quantum Books, and clues to the riddle of stopped Time. But the more Max learns, the more it seems that his own true identity is not what he once believed. Now he must race against a clock that can no longer tick, before the very world itself is altered forever...

    <body><![CDATA[This is my first book ... Max Quick 2: The Two Travelers is definitely the stronger book, but I am very proud of this one also.  And besides, you kind of have to read it to understand book 2, now don't you? :)<br/><br/>Buy it here: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.lulu.com/content/268303">http://www.lulu.com/content/268303</a>]]></body>

But I have to say: the remaining two thirds is unbelievably good!  You have to give it chance to get going.

Both are different experiences but each great in their own way.  Except now I hear Mr. Jeffery's voice in my head whenever i read the book ;)]]></body>
