Introduction
One piece of the skin map has been found. Now the race to unravel the future of the furture turns deadly.
Kit Livingstone met his great grandfather Cosimo in a rainy alley in London where he discovered the reality of alternate realities.
Now he's on the run-and on a quest-trying to understand the impossible mission he inherited from Cosimo: to restore a map that charts the hidden dimensions of the multiverse. Survival depends on staying one step ahead of the savage Burley Men.
The key is the Skin Map-but where it leads and what it means, Kit has no idea. The pieces have been scattered throughout this universe and beyond.
Mina, from her outpost in seventeenth-century Prague, is quickly gaining both the experience and the means to succeed in the quest. Yet so are those with evil intent who, from the shadows, are manipulating great minds of history for their own malign purposes.
Those who know how to use ley lines have left their own world behind to travel across time and space-down avenues of Egyptian sphinxes, to an Etruscan tufa tomb, a Bohemian coffee shop, and a Stone Age landscape where universes collide-in this, the second quest to unlock the mystery of The Bone House.
Discussion Questions
1. Kit’s time in the Stone Age is enlightening. How do the things he discovers about these cave men differ from what you have always heard about them?2. Mina’s kaffeehaus is an incredible success in Prague. Do you think her early introduction of coffee will have any negative impact on history?
3. When Thomas Young opens the package from Mina, he tells Kit that “the world will change.” How would it change your life to know pieces of the future? To know things that you would or would not achieve before they happened?
4. Douglas eventually discovers that his book is written in the language of the angels. What are your impressions of Douglas? Do you think he is a worthy pursuer of the secrets of that language?
5. The titles of each chapter begin with the words “In which . . .” Which title was the most intriguing to you?
