The Missing (novel series) - Wikipedia

Jonah Skidmore learns that he was an orphanage child from 1932 and that he has a twin brother named Jordan. Wanting to help his strangely unaged parents, he sends his entire family to the future. [30] [31] Second traps his parents in a time hollow and Jonah, Jordan, and Katherine are forced to save a young version of Second, Kevin, from an accident in the past (falling from a fence at the airport the night of the time crash). They learn Second's story: having witnessed the appearance of the plane, he was kept on for the FBI investigation, but crippled from his accident, and Gary and Hodge, acting for Interchronological Rescue, hired him as a spy in the time agency for the company, taking him to the future and healing him, where he became JB's chief projectionist. The adult Second, frustrated with Jonah and Katherine, later traps them in a separate time hollow, leaving Jordan to save time by himself. In a time hollow, he watches the entire lives of his siblings and learns about their previous trips through time. Second reveals that he has been murdered and that he is only a hologram, and the fate of the alternate universe he created- destroyed, since he gave the secret of age-altering to everyone. After befriending Kevin, Jordan convinces him to help re-age the adults. In the process of doing so, Kevin himself is unaged into a baby. The two are captured by Curtis Rathbone, the CEO of the company that employed Gary and Hodge, who then reveals that he caused all the unaging. Jordan and Kevin are then joined by Jonah, Katherine, Chip, JB, Angela and his parents. Everybody is frozen by Mr. Rathbone but he is killed by Kevin's Elucidator. In the epilogue, Kevin is adopted by the Skidmores, and babies Gary and Hodge by Hadley Correo and Angela, bringing them up to 4 adopted kids (including Maria and Leonid from Risked). JB reveals to them that the time agency is sealing off time travel to prevent any more near-disasters, but secretly gives them an emergency Elucidator. The book is, essentially, a combined reprint of earlier works. The first half, Lost Books of the Bible, is an unimproved reprint of a book published by William Hone in 1820, titled The Apocryphal New Testament, itself a reprint of a translation of the Apostolic Fathers done in 1693 by William Wake, who later became the Archbishop of Canterbury, and a smattering of medieval embellishments on the New Testament, from a book by Jeremiah Jones (1693–1724), posthumously published in 1736. In the three centuries since these were originally published, a great deal more is known about the Apostolic Fathers (including a good deal of the original text that was not available in 1693) and New Testament apocrypha. What follows is the harrowing account of Claire’s decent into psychological turmoil as she begins to experience fugue states. This makes for surreal reading, because it can actually happen and it’s frightening. The author has done a great job of staying true to Claire’s traumatic experiences, and they add a huge amount of tension to the story as you are in the dark as much as Claire is as regards what happens when she is in a fugue state. Well. I've been reading a few psychological thrillers recently, and some brilliant ones. This is a much mature, C.L. Taylor writing prowess. I didn't find it predictable, although It had all the oomph of a classic, you can never change the suspense a novel like this gives you without a few common laws. If you can imagine for a moment that your fifteen year old son goes missing in the middle of the night and you can't find him. This is what happened to Claire Wilkinson when her son Billy vanishes one night. Claire and the rest of the family search for Billy but he can't be found and the police have also drawn a blank. Billy has completely vanished so after he has been missing for six months the police call for an appeal in the hope that someone might come forward with fresh information. You would think this would be a great idea but on the day of the media appeal everything goes horribly wrong and the family gets unwanted newspaper coverage.I suspect I'm going to be a lone voice with this one as many other reviewers have raved about it. I loved this author's two previous thrillers, The Accident and The Lie and had been eagerly looking forward to this latest book, but The Missing didn't engage me as much as I had hoped for and I can't put my finger on why. I liked it but I didn't love it. It's not the writing that's at fault because that is up to the usual standard and is excellent. It may be my mood at the moment, or the fact that I simply didn't care enough about the characters - I don't know. A difficult subject matter, but written superbly. Plot, characters, all very strong and very well researched. I've always loved Cally's writing, but this sets the mark. Family drama thriller centred around 15 year old boy Billy. Billy has been missing for 6 months now, the police still don't have any leads and no one has heard from him. Claire (Mother) is unable to let go she continues her search for her son believing he is out there and still alive.

The Missing Sister by Lucinda Riley - Pan Macmillan The Missing Sister by Lucinda Riley - Pan Macmillan

Mark and Claire Wilkinson are beyond distraught when their 15-year old son, Billy, goes missing. Now 6-months later, he still hasn’t returned home and his parents and older brother, Jake, can’t help but blame themselves—and each other—for his mysterious disappearance. Claire and Mark Wilkinson are living every parent's nightmare. Their 15 year old son Billy went missing 6 months ago and so far there have been no clues as to what happened to him. Claire is convinced that he ran away following a family argument and is hiding out somewhere and she continues to try to unravel the truth. But there are secrets being kept by family and friends that might help to uncover the true events leading up to Billy's disappearance.Brendan (One Who Survives Much) - An obscure missing child, Brendan was originally a painter and a member of a neighboring Indian tribe. He was apprenticed by John White along with Antonio; most of their works were demolished in a fire, while the rest were taken illegally by time travelers. His past was restored in Sabotaged. The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden (1926) is a collection of 17th-century and 18th-century English translations of some Old Testament Pseudepigrapha and New Testament apocrypha, some of which were assembled in the 1820s, and then republished with the current title in 1926. Throughout the book I mistrusted everyone! They all seemed to have something to hide and the plot twisted more than a tin of spaghetti until the truth was finally exposed in a very emotional scene. It worked perfectly for me. The way it was told through Claire's eyes, an unreliable narrator due to her memory loses, was interspersed with What's App messages, a very modern-day way of telling a tale and you get a real sense of menace in such few words! A very topical issue was raised here with the use of social media and how our teens are at risk from that little computer they always carry in their hands-a gateway to pornography, bullying, sexting, grooming...as a parent it is terrifying that our children can have a whole life that we are no longer a part of or have any influence over. And although this is a realistically gritty plot line with some graphic language and scenes it is handled with finesse. I loved it from start to finish, it spoke to me and I know that most of us will realise how this could happen to any family...even ours. Although this wasn't one of my favourites by C L Taylor, its still a very good, suspenseful and well written story and I would recommend it to others. I think in this case its "me not you". The translations were first published, under this title, by an unknown editor in The Lost Books of the Bible Cleveland 1926, but the translations had previously been published many times.
