Description
Have you ever seen a building moving?
Arthur Chamberlain is an engineer who works in his one-man company, whose office is in Manhattan. One day he notices that the sun is moving backwards, setting in the east. Shocked, he realizes what is happening. The earthquake is the reason why the rock beneath the building is flawed, with that causing the building to recede, but instead of moving spatially, the building is moving through time, going into the past. He ends up several years in the past, in the time of pre-Columbian Manhattan. Then, the struggle for surviving of all the people living in the building begins.
Luckily, Arthur realizes that the seismic forces that brought them into the past can return them in the future and shares his ideas with the inhabitants of the building, with whom he must find a way how to make the building go back to the future.
Will Arthur succeed in his plan and brings everyone back in the future? How he plans to move a building through time?
In this time-traveling, science fiction story, we follow the lives and adventures of people in a building that goes into the past. We learn about the time of the Indians and the ways of surviving in that period.
