A Distant Echo

More about the book

A mountain slides across the small town of Frank, Alberta, trapping and killing the residents beneath a million tons of rock. Tom and Jackson, fortune hunters, watch the catastrophe in a movie--the disaster occurred over a hundred years ago. But suddenly, inexplicably, the two adventurers are transported back in time. The town of Frank is intact, the disaster still a year ahead but they're now in a time and place where nothing works the way they're used to. Can they adapt? And they warn people about what's about to happen? What can they do if no one will believe them? They have no usable money, nowhere to stay--and they're thrown in jail, suspected of robbery, but a determined woman saves them. They're about to learn lessons involving kindness, generosity, and the power of love--but they're also about to encounter brutality, disbelief, poverty and frustration. The lives they had before are nothing more than a distant echo. Is there a way back to the future? They have a plan, but it will mean leaving behind all those they've come to love and abandoning the town on the very night of the disaster. Love or Money--Do Tom and Jackson have to choose between them?
