Wade Mullins is a pretty smart schoolkid in the 1940's just post WWII. He and his best friend Bobby are fascinated by airplanes, bombers, and bombs. Bobby's cousin Lee has just sent him some drawings that are top secret, as they are related to the creation of the atomic bomb. Through a series of events Wade ends up with the drawings and is attempting to burn them when he is transported from his basement in Odyssey to Marus. Interestingly in many ways, Marus is quite technologically advanced, using solar for everything - but it has led them to begin to worship the sun instead of the Unseen One.

Wade is quickly taken as a "guest" of Tyran and Tyran's top sidekick, Dr. Liszt. He shares with Dr. Liszt the atomic bomb drawings and the information is quickly used for evil and not for good. Also, the flu Wade had before arriving in Marus has far-reaching consequences....

This is a retelling of the story of Noah. All in all, I am still enjoying the author's take on Biblical stories through the lens of Odyssey.
