YACaretaker Trilogy series.
Jack is plunged into unwanted adventure after learning that he is a prince from the future, a prophesied "beacon of hope" who will save the planet from ecological ruin. Despite stereotypically bombshell female characters and distractingly fragmented prose, the heady mix of high-impact action, breakneck chase scenes, thoughtful environmentalism, and life-or-death trust issues builds to a startling conclusion.
