The Pocket and the Pendant (podiobook)

A sci-fi adventure steeped in the lore of an ancient civilization that will appeal to children and adults alike. Max Quick's life drastically changes after time suddenly stops. The young man of 12 -- harassed by bullies, living as an orphan in a violent home for boys and about to be thown into juvenile hall -- is mysteriously immune to this chrono-freeze. He soon discovers other children who are impervious as well -- namely, Casey Cole and Ian Keating -- and the three find themselves embarking on a thrilling quest....

Max and Casey leave Starland, CA and travel eastward along a desert highway, towards the eclipse. They encounter a town inhabited by a tribe of wild kids - also mysteriously immune to the time-freezing effects of the Pocket - who force Max and Casey to participate in a dangerous, high-speed whooshing chase. Soundtrack music by Bjorn Lynne.

Max and Casey have been captured by a wild kid-gang calling itself the 'Serpents and Mermaids'. After a mock trial, they learn that for 'the Serps' an entire year has gone by in the time-stop of the Pocket. When they are later imprisoned, Ian Keating, a brainy, British 'VP of the Serps', secretly reveals that UFO's have been buzzing the town, and tells the duo the tale of how the Serps came to be -- and why he is now desperate to escape the town himself. Soundtrack music by Bjorn Lynne.
