"Annette
Openlander’s Escape from the Past is a breath of literary fresh air blowing over the dystopic landscape of YA fiction. The novel offers the
proverbial “something for everyone,” from a fascinating gamer’s puzzle, to the romance of real history all presented with well-crafted prose. The characters are three dimensional, relatable,
and the action well paced. Sure to please. Can’t wait for the next one." -Michael Burnam, MD, author of The Last Stop
Releasing on the 31st July, it's already getting rave reviews. Book Beacon described it as a great book: "The action is fast paced, the details are historically accurate and the plot is original and entertaining."
While on Goodreads... "A face-paced, thrilling adventure story, full of fascinating details about medieval life" "A masterful story" "It's a fabulous adventure, and I can't wait for more!"
When fifteen-year-old nerd and gamer Max Anderson thinks he's sneaking a preview of an unpublished video game, he doesn't realize that 1) He's been chosen as a beta, an experimental test player. 2)
He’s playing the ultimate history game, transporting him into the actual past: anywhere and anytime. And 3) Survival is optional: to return home he must decipher the game's rules and complete its
missions—if he lives long enough. To fail means to stay in the past—forever.
Now Max is trapped in medieval Germany, unprepared and clueless. It is 1471 and he quickly learns that being an outcast may cost him his head. Especially after rescuing a beautiful peasant girl from
a deadly infection and thus provoking sinister wannabe Duke Ott. Overnight he is dragged into a hornets' nest of feuding lords who will stop at nothing to bring down the conjuring stranger in their
midst.
