Why is the black van still following Will and Sandra? Something is wrong in Normal. The perfect summer of being eight years old continues in a way that even two precocious kids with vivid imaginations could never have envisioned. The day before the first game of the Little League season Will’s papaw reveals a family secret that not only explains the odd things that Will has been experiencing but also changes his immediate plans. While poking around in the abandoned old house down the street, looking for a half-fairy/half-human named Homer Underby, Will and Sandra are surprised by an old lady who appears to live there. As they try to help her out, it becomes clear that she’s troubled. But when they attempt to assist her, they uncover an unsolved mystery that happened twenty years before. As the amateur sleuths investigate, strange men grab Sandra. While trying to get away, Will falls backward and through a hole in the floor landing in what he believes is the basement. With a badly sprained ankle, Will limps toward what he hopes will be the way out of the darkness, only to learn he is no longer anywhere near Normal. Somehow Will has wound up in the distant future on a subtropical island off the coast of Antarctica where Brent, the last man on Earth, lives. While the most important thing for Will is getting back home to help Sandra escape from her captors, he must trust the reluctant hermit who knows a lot more about Sandra’s abduction than Will is comfortable with. Homer Underby continues The Thuperman Trilogy as two budding superheroes must depend on each other to find answers.

If you fall through a window, either you shatter it, or it shatters you. Regardless, it’s always a bad choice. Though there may be a good story in it, even when there is no other option, it is never a good idea. When Brent escapes The Program, he breaks a fundamental law of the universe: a window is a barrier intended to divide not a portal to be transgressed. Windows separate inside from outside. And so, despite having just regathered the fragments of his life, Brent Woods finds himself once again in two pieces. With one part remaining in the world where Sully and Forsythe desperately seek to find and control him, the other winds up in alternate universe New Orleans where the living who need to escape reality coexist with the dead, largely musicians and other creatives who have no intention of moving on to an afterlife in Assembly. Obviously, Brent’s main objective is to get himself together, but first he must resolve issues lingering from his youth when three of his girlfriends died tragically. Accused of responsibility he must clear his reputation before Plush the Magic Drag Queen, supreme ruler of New Orleans, permits his return to the Outworld. All the while, his other half must escape The Program’s recapture. Straddling two hostile worlds, Brent navigates a minefield of threats and challenges that no one living should ever face.
