When the battered old Volkswagen called Timebender lands them on Mars, they find not merely a dead world of craters and red sands, but a planet of mystery. Arriving in a region called Cydonia, the voyagers encounter the weird, Sphinx-like Face on Mars. Who built the Face? Was it the strange golden-eyed, blue-skinned creatures known as Timelings, the guardians of the solar system? And what is the eerie connection between the Face on Mars and the evil and frightening Silver Dragon? In this fourth high-velocity installment of the Timebender saga, the pug-faced bully Toby Brubaker is at it again-causing more trouble than ever before.
