Synopsis

For fans of Rick Riordan and Brian Selznick, author-artist Armand Baltazar introduces Timeless: Diego and the Rangers of the Vastlantic, the first in a new science fiction/fantasy series that explores a world painted new by the Time Collision.You’ve never seen Earth like this before: continents reshaped, oceans re-formed, cities rebuilt, and mountains sculpted anew. Dinosaurs roam the plains alongside herds of buffalo, and giant robots navigate the same waters as steam-powered ships.  This is the world Diego Ribera was born into. The past, present, and future coexisting together. In New Chicago, Diego’s middle school hallways buzz with kids from all eras of history and from cultures all over the world. The pieces do not always fit together neatly, but this is the world he loves.There are those, however, who do not share his affection. On his thirteenth birthday, Diego learns of a special gift he has within, a secret that is part of something much bigger—something he cannot understand. When his father, New Chicago’s top engineer, is taken by the Aeternum, Diego must rescue him and prevent this evil group from disrupting the fragile peace humanity has forged.

The art is gorgeous; the writing is...not. But this book's real failing comes down to character -- to emotion. It's a long book and a lot happens in it, but the reader is never given much of a reason to care. By which I mean, often it's not entirely clear what the characters are actually trying to a......more

I cannot stress how much I adored this book. I had the pleasure of meeting the author at the ABA's Children's Institute, and I think I was even a little more enthusiastic about his book than he was, and that is saying something. First, a little backstory, because I happen to have heard it from him.......more

Goodreads review by Joaquin on October 24, 2017

A los doce años éste habría sido mi libro favorito del mundo mundial. Desde que vi este libro en San Diego a mediados de año (Baltazar tenía su stand en la Comic-con) me empezó a intrigar el concepto y a fascinar el arte. El concepto no era precisamente nuevo: Arthur C. Clarke intentó exactamente l......more

“Timeless: Diego and the Rangers of the Vastlantic” is just the first installment of this series, but already, it stands alone as a universally thrilling adventure. You can clearly see Baltazar’s affection for his protagonist, Diego, and his confidence in a child’s ability to exceed expectations, ph......more
