In 2050, the fires and radiation of World War III strip the earth bare. A handful of human survivors, a religious sect on retreat, hunker down in a cavern on far northern Baffin Island. A million years later, their progeny still lives on, much changed and permanently weakened. Not so the Prairie Dogs who sheltered in the same cavern, becoming big and brainy while soaking up the sect's all-too-human wiles. Three prescient twentieth-century families time-travel those million years to Baffin Island to restore mankind. Instead of an unpopulated wilderness, they find the sect's descendants under the Prairie Dogs' control. As the human population languishes, the prairie dogs plan a genocidal war to be fought in the name of religion. The families face their own calamity-the deadly wounding and disappearance of their idealistic leader, Sequoyah. Soon the young teens and adults are caught up in the war. Amid the clashing factions, they search for Sequoyah even as their own desires and destinies propel them forward along tortuous and sometimes visionary paths. At every turn they learn more about their strange connection to the isle that had been predicted a million years in the past. Day of the Jumping Sun does just that. It jumps into the readers' thoughts and takes hold of their attention and doesn't let go until the last page. For the human in us, all will feel the ink bubbling like lava. -Martin Shone, poet and author Read The Last Shade Tree, the first book in this epic tale.
