Nowhere to Run!
An avid fan of Author J.S. Frankel’s Young Adult/Sci-Fi novels, ‘Escape to Yesteryear’ is nonstop trauma infused with flashes of spitting-image world news and societal imperfections.
Teen protagonists, Eli Marks and Callie Sanda, like the slew of minor characters you’ll meet, are genetically enhanced. Possessing the ability to shift their molecular structure for a brief period of time, they’re capable of amazing feats.
Given the prevailing myopic mindset inherent in any society, the enhanced, viewed as “mutants,” become pariahs. They are targets of the government and its sanctioned AMA (Anti-Mutant Association) with nowhere to run.
Frankel’s fast-paced, harrowing ventures with many close calls teem with: traitorous rogue factions of enhanced working for the AMA; advanced weaponry; a portal to other worlds; holograph disguising.
Frankel’s trademark eloquence conveys the selfishness, greed, stupidity, and inhumanity of mankind without breaking a sweat. A most worthwhile read enhanced by the author’s penchant for storytelling with no holds barred.
