The end of the world was just the beginning for Hannah and Amanda Given. Saved from apocalypse by three mysterious beings, the sisters were marked with a silver bracelet and transported to an entirely different Earth-a place where restaurants move through the air like flying saucers and the fabric of time is manipulated by common household appliances.
There, the Givens were joined by four other survivors in silver: an acerbic cartoonist, a shy teenage girl, an aloof young Australian, and a troubled ex-prodigy. Hunted by enemies they never knew they had, and afflicted with temporal abilities they never wanted, the sisters and their new companions embarked on a cross-country journey to find the one man who can give them shelter.
Now, six months after their tumultuous arrival in New York City, the Silvers find themselves in more trouble than ever. Their new world is dying, and a clan of powerful timebenders believes that killing them is the only way to stop it. The U.S. government has sent its most ruthless spy agency to track and capture them. And a new pair of allies-with their own terrifying abilities-endangers the group from within.
But their biggest threat of all may be the people who first saved them: the godlike Pelletier's. They had a reason for bringing the Silvers to this world. And when our heroes learn the awful truth, nothing will ever be the same.

I enjoyed the first book, The Flight of the Silvers a lot and was looking forward to seeing where the story went next. I enjoyed this even more. I couldn't stop reading until I was done. It picks up not long after the first book ended and there's not much time to catch your breath. There's so much action in the book and so many twists and turns. In the midst of all of this insanity and chaos there is impressive character development. I thought this was a terrific read. I look forward to the conclusion.
