An alternate future? An insecure past? Another present made of
dense woodlands and waterways ... or of streets and buildings and
crowds? Are its populations living beside one another in a welter
of frequencies or wavelengths not generally experienced in Place
and Time? What is FIVE POINTS AKROPOLIS? A particular place called
Five Points Akropolis -- This is what Anno Domine 1769, 1900 A.D.,
and 2017 CE have in common. But what influence does the
dwarf-wanderer Pluto have on its fortunes? One of many characters,
Willie the grave-digger would like to know, and too Gregoff the
Grak. So would True People's scouts Red Fox and Quick Claws.
Jayrai, HBBBAH, and Tu are wondering--they want to get back to
2017, their own time. And little Quadri, whose flashing gaze is the
pulse of the gamescape. But "the girl," who seems somehow
responsible for all this, isn't saying anything. Three gangs of
kids living on the same spot in different times, meeting up for the
first time as Pluto descends.
