Alternate cover edition of ASIN B00O2XPAZQ Meet Marx. Meet Kez. Marx is a small, angry man with a time machine and a chip on his shoulder. Kez is a homicidal little girl with a price on her head and a penchant for kicking people where it hurts the most. When Marx crash-lands on Second World, he has no idea that he has plunged headfirst into the middle of an assassination plot- or a one day war that’s about to make his day a very bad one. From their first meeting at gun point, to their sometimes turbulent and always sarcastic relationship, Kez and Marx leave a trail of destruction and death behind them. Kez holds the secret to unfettered travel in time and space, and it’s not just the Time Corp who want her. Join Kez and Marx's adventures in time and space as they try to stay one step ahead of doom, certain death, and the Time Corp.

Even time travellers can run out of time. Marx and Kez have been skipping through the known Twelve Worlds, keeping one step ahead of certain capture by the seat of their trousers, and the vastness of time and space is feeling a tad too small. Kez has always been a bit crazy, but now it’s Marx who is getting mad. Someone is trying to kill them, and that’s the sort of thing he takes personally. To add to their difficulties, there are Fixed Points in time that are beginning to look a little less…fixed. Between Time Corp, WAOF, Uncle Cheng, and the Lolly Men, it’s beginning to look like there’s nowhere safe in the known Twelve Worlds for Kez and Marx. Here be monsters…

Reality has split–and it’s Definitely Not Kez’s Fault. There are Fixed Points in the universe: places where events Must Always Happen, no matter what else changes in the timeline. But Someone isn’t happy with the way things turned out. Someone knows that if those Fixed Points are disturbed, another version of reality can be created. And Someone is desperate enough to risk destroying the universe just for a chance to make their own vision into reality: a vision that will separate Kez and Marx from each other and all that they hold dear. Marx without Kez is a small, angry man with a burning desire for revenge, but Kez without Marx is a feral bundle of rage and fear that could well destroy any version of reality. Someone really should have thought of that before they began splitting reality…
