As a result of the trouble Kevin gets Tony into, Mrs. DiViette has restricted Tony from hanging out with Kevin because he always seems to get hurt. In this latest adventure the two boys meet with danger yet again.

This time the danger is real for Kevin and Tony. It all started on a rainy day involving a package that William “Pudge” Lovejoy was supposed to mail to Devin Talon. You see, Devin and Pudge had spent many months working on a device that would allow a person to travel through time. The device, no bigger than a television remote control, had a few bugs that needed to be worked out. It was Pudge who decided to mail it back to Devin, after he took it away because of the danger. Unfortunately, the rain soaked package soon caused the address to bleed away resulting in the delivery ending up at the doorstep of Kevin.

The adventure begins with the boys discovery of the devices dangerous qualities and the hunt that Devin brings on attempting to get his precious device, the Influxitron, back. Devin's men, dressed in black, hunt the kids through the mountains and into a mine. Kevin and Tony use their wits and superhero stunts to out run them for the time being. Will Kevin and Tony survive the stormy weather, mountains and mines? Will the boys get help with their own rescue? You'll have to read this wonderful tale to find out.
