Publisher's Synopsis
Who is Timeface? What is Timeface? No one knows but Graham Sebastian - or at least that's what he thinks. Armed with this secret knowledge (and little else), Sebastian will undergo a cosmically absurd tribulation in this sprawling yarn that's sort of about everything: it's a pulpy science fiction adventure, a bizarre comedy, a tragedy, and a love story with bits of horror tossed in for good measure. After an impromptu summons from the immortal protector of time itself, one naive fry cook signs on for a misguided expedition in search of his destiny - and something else. Accompanied by his hell-bent theology professor and a silent assassin with a fanny pack, Graham Sebastian will become entangled in something much bigger than himself: an eons-old scheme that will, before all's said and done, involve a celestial being with a twisted sense of humor; an ancient secret society; a hypnotic and painfully mysterious golden electricity fountain; a curious and rather persistent turquoise vegetable; amorous wristwatches; a blossoming romance and a dissolving friendship; the infamous and maligned has-been artist 'Rico Corrigone, and a marmot named Chopin. This much can be said for certain: no one touched by Graham Sebastian's odyssey will emerge unscathed.
