Sam Derry is an average fifteen year old from London in the year 2091, where the whole world is in denial of its mistakes. The world's governments are on their last legs; people without shelter from the harsh climate and rising sea levels are dying, but nobody has time to save them. It can't be long before they're forced to travel to Europa, a place in the Solar System that may offer a temporary home. Sam's been known for noticing things more than others, but he's glad to be average, glad that he can just avoid the turmoil and terror. For him, life carries on as normally as it can. Until he's whisked to Ancient Rome on a trip to Italy, with nothing but his backpack and an ominous pocket watch in his hand... Can Sam survive the perils of Rome, 49AD? And will he ever escape from a power-hungry organisation that wants to obliterate his kind forever? Watch the clock. Count.
