But all his protective instincts fire up when she’s targeted by robbers and loses a powerful ancient relic.
Determined not to let his love take the fall, Tom fights his way to a spectacular parallel universe the thieves use as a bolthole. But with less than three days before doomsday, he puts aside his awe of the hot air balloons and steam-powered science to confront a twisted criminal cartel. Will he break all the rules to win his sweetheart’s approval and stop a looming apocalypse?
