The Time Twins Series is the work of D.B. Macks.

It is the adventures of two boys, Ben and Seth.

The Time Twins There are over 200 cultures that talk about a great flood. Eight people and a boatload of animals are spared. The Jewish and Christian faiths refer to it as the Flood of Noah. They say that this was a global flood where the fountains of the deep erupted and rains came down until the whole earth was covered. In The Time Twins this pre-flood world has been recreated in all of its glory. Using the ideas of creation as a basis, this world is a young world abounding in new life. The idea that people were created rather than evolved opens doors of possibilities. The people are more advanced physically and culturally than us. Their energy is based on magnetic energy that surrounds the world. Mental abilities that we think of as extra sensory perception is normal for them. Because of a closed environment that protects them from gamma and cosmic radiation they live for hundreds of years. The enemy in this world is a hybrid race called Nephilim. They are part human and part alien beings. They hate humans and each other. It is into this world that The Time Twins start their adventures. The series has two books out with a third one scheduled to be release in late winter 2012 and Book four in fall of 2012. The first two books of the series: A Boy out of Time Captured in Atlantis

Characters in the books

Ben Javan Ben Javan born May XX in Virginia. Son of John and Marge Javan. He is 4’ 4” tall, blond hair and green eyes. At the time the story begins he is turning 14. He is the oldest child and now, the only child. His sister Mary died the summer before in a drowning accident that Ben blames himself for. It was from that point that his mood changed and he became more withdrawn. In an effort to help him his parents moved to Washington D.C. Ben became the object of a couple of bullies and figured it was punishment from God for letting his sister drown. A visit from his Uncle Theo at Christmas brought a change in the form of a letter from a boy named Seth who lived His Uncle Theo came for Christmas that year and brought a letter from a boy named Seth. Seth lived near Uncle Theo and was wanting communication with someone his own age. Ben and Seth sent letters back and forth several times before Seth was given a computer. After that they communicated by text.

Seth Seth is the son of Amoth the crystal grower. His father and mother disappeared and are presumed dead. Seth has been living with his Grandma, Adah ever since then. At the time of the story Seth is turning 14. In fact his birthday is the same day as Ben’s. Seth looks like he has albino traits. His skin is very light colored, so much so, that you can see the veins running under it. His hair also is very light colored. Not white, like an albino. It is his eyes that are different. Where we have brown or green or blue, he has purple. He is also tall. At this time he is just over six feet. Seth and his people are not from our world. Well, at least not from the world we know. They come from the distant past, very distant past. That world no longer exist.

Professor Theo The Professor, as he is known by those around him is a geophysicist. His specialty is in the area of magnetic energy. He is the oldest of three. His sister, Marge is Ben’s mother. His brother Bob was youngest. During a trip to Alaska the Professor heard about an indian legend of a volcano that was starting to erupt. A star fell from the sky and landed on the already erupting volcano and stopped the eruption. Strange lights emanated from the top of the mountain and it became a holy place to the local tribes. Because the Professor’s parents had been archeologist he decided to investigate. An indian guide took him up the shear cliff face to the cone above. The inside of the cone was alive with trees and fields. In the center of the cone was a lake of clear blue water. In the middle of the lake was a small island. The island was what was left of the meteor that had crashed. The magnetic fields coming from the meteor was stronger than anything he had ever encountered. After he returned to Anchorage he sought out the tribal leaders and asked to purchase the mountain. They were outraged that a request like that was being made. Then an old medicine man came into their meeting and after taking one look at the Professor told a story that had come to him as a small boy. In this story he had been shown that someday a man of great knowledge would come to them and ask to live on the top of the mountain. After looking long at the Professor, the medicine man informed them that he was that man. He ordered the tribal leaders to do what ever this man asked. That was how he came to live at the top of the volcano. His work on magnetic energy flourished there. After some years he had developed a doorway that would focus the magnetic energy. The result was a worm hole that opened at this end in the doorway and the other end opened into a world far different than our own. It was only after several visits to this world that he found out it was really our world, but our world in the past. His first friend there was a lady named Adah. She was the leader of an underground that rescued people from strange creatures called Nephilim. After that the cone became a haven for people of that time who were being hunted. Because of this the place became known as Conehaven.

Adah Adah is a lady who comes from the ancient race of man. This race was much more developed than men are today. Hey have abilities far beyond ours. They are far taller and all of them have the same skin pigment, or lack of it, varying shades of purple eyes and very light, almost translucent hair. She is 475 years old. In this series her older sister, Mara and her brother, Ono are mentioned.
