About the Book- Timeless: Diego and the Rangers of the Vastlantic
You've never seen Earth like this before: continents reshaped, oceans re-formed, cities rebuilt and mountains sculpted anew. Dinosaurs roam the plains alongside herds of buffalo, and giant robots navigate the same waters as steam-powered ships.
This is the world Diego Ribera was born into. The past, present, and future coexisting together. In New Chicago, Diegos middle school hallways buzz with kids from all eras of history and from cultures all over the world. The pieces do not always fit together neatly, but this is the world he loves.
There are those, however, who do not share his affection. On his thirteenth birthday, Diego learns of a special gift he has within, a secret that is part of something much bigger something he cannot understand. When his father, New Chicagos top engineer, is taken by the Aeternum, Diego must rescue him and prevent this evil group from disrupting the fragile peace humanity has forged.
About the Author- Armand Baltazar
Armand Baltazar was born 1967 in Chicagos North Side, not far from the famed Wrigley Field. Always keen on drawing, painting and creating stories at an early age, his parents encouraged his talents with trips to the Art Institute of Chicago and creative writing classes in school. He pursued formal training first at the Art Institute, then later graduated from Northern Illinois University with a BFA in Advertising & Editorial Illustration.
His quest to grow as an artist led him to California to attend the Art Center College of Design. There he would find a renewed a passion for narrative painting and earn a second BFA in Book Illustration. More simply, pictures that told a story with feeling and design. Unexpectedly, this led him to a path in film.
Armand began his film career in feature animation first as a background artist, then as a visual development artist, and art director for DreamWorks Studios, Walt Disney Feature Animation, Image Movers Digital and Pixar Animation Studio.
Working on these films rekindled his boyhood spark for writing and Armand began work on a personal project in his spare time. What began as a simple illustrated adventure story for his son would become the first illustrated novel in his series. Armand currently resides in Northern California with his family, working full time creating the art and stories for the epic illustrated middle grade adventure series Timeless!
