Booklist - 08/01/2024 Rogers follows Man Made Monsters (2022) with a fierce, apocalyptic, time-travel novel. Stevie is a Cherokee teen living in 2052 Fort Worth, Texas, with her parents and young brother, Levi. Through her job in the Modern Art Museum gift shop, she meets Adawi, or Adam, a beautiful intern artist who soon tells her that he has come from the future to save works of art from the coming apocalypse. A pandemic, combined with escalating climate disasters, is about to kick off 90 days of chaos. Adam assures Stevie that the future will be an improvement, but she must reach her family’s reservation lands in Oklahoma to survive. When Adam and Stevie fall in love and break the rules of time travel to save Levi, the time line turns unpredictable. Mysteries and confusion abound as Stevie’s understanding of her family’s involvement shifts again and again. This beautifully designed work of futurism, influenced by Octavia Butler, pushes back hard against the ills of our own world and embraces hope for the next, one built on cooperation and connection. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
