Can we change our fate? Or is our future inevitable? This collection contains all three novels in the Future Shock series - Future Shock, Future Threat, and Future Lost. But nothing we do seems to change the future, and I have no idea who I can trust. Now we have twenty-four hours to get back to the present and figure out how to stop our own deaths. But when something goes wrong, we're forced to break the one rule we were given-to not look into our own fates. I'm given about five minutes to process that time travel is real before I'm sent thirty years ahead with four other recruits, including geeky hot scientist Adam. But here's the catch: they're sending me on a secret mission to the future. When powerful tech giant Aether Corporation offers to set me up for life, I can't refuse. If I don't find a job before I turn eighteen and age out of the foster care system I'll be homeless.

The future is inevitable.or is it? My time is running out.
