NO OTHER STORY

When we last saw Ethan Cheeseman and his three smart, polite, attractive and relatively odor-free children, they had just returned from 1668 to the present with the help of Professor Boxley’s LVR-ZX. It is the appearance of a very modern-day 737 rumbling across the sky that leads them to assume they have returned to the present.

But, assumptions can be wrong, because the sound of airplane engines is soon replaced by another sound, drumming, growing louder with each passing second. The source eventually makes itself known as a company of Colonial soldiers marching over a nearby hill. Things get even stranger when a band of Nordic raiders comes screaming over the opposing hill, lining up for battle. Suddenly, a very large Tyrannosaurus Rex comes bursting forth from the trees at the other end of the field, very close to the LVR-ZX. Mr. Cheeseman and the others watch helplessly as the T-Rex lumbers over to the LVR-ZX for closer inspection and crushes it between its massive jaws. The Cheesemans are now trapped in Some Times, a phenomenon that occurs when a person is bounced off the Time Arc and finds himself or herself existing in several times and places at once. This is the last place (or places) the Cheesemans want to be and for the next two months they find themselves in a world where day and night and winter and summer all happen in no particular order and often at the same time. All the while they’re on the run from Vikings, dinosaurs, slow-witted cave dwellers, British soldiers and a certain pirate with more rings than Elizabeth Taylor who has been blasted into Some Times from 1668 by a powerful jolt of electricity. Will they ever manage to get back home in time to save wife and mother Olivia Cheeseman from the clutches of the vile Mr. 5? It takes Dr. Cuthbert Soup, himself, to fly the Cheesemans to the Present two years ago. What the Cheesemans don’t count on is having to face younger versions of themselves….
