J. C. van Winkler and Smitty the Ghost hop on the Laser Express for another adventure. The duo race in time from one disaster to another saving those who will change the world's destiny. Their stops include Pompeii for a little lava flow, Italy for a cup of Black Death, London where things really heat up and a quick shake-up in San Francisco. Final stop: New Year City: September 11, 2001.

In the small Dutch village of Urk, Holland, murder is unbelievable-three murders are inconceivable. Two young American schoolteachers-Dane Jansen and Jenae Christianson-travel abroad for the summer. Dane is in search of information about her Dutch birth mother with only one clue to assist her-a Dutch birth token, which gives an inkling as to her past identity. Hoping to travel the continent during their summer vacation, the two young ladies start their expedition in Holland, and because of a turn of events, they decide to stay and work in that beautiful country full of tulips, windmills, and wooden shoes. Thinking that they can travel to other fascinating European cities during the weekends, their plans are soon severed. As the plot thickens, the two become hopelessly entangled in a web of enigmatic mysteries and murders, spinning suspense throughout the novel.

J. C. van Winkler and Smity the Ghost board the Starlight Laser Express as they begin another time-warped adventure together. The duo race from one exciting exploit to another—visiting the Swiss Alps, Germany’s Christmas Markets, Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp as well as the Normandy area from WWII, Venice and Rome, Greece’s incredible island of Santorini as well as Athens, and Spain’s extraordinary Barcelona before returning to America’s “Big Apple.” Each stop provides a danger in disguise as J.C. and Smitty assist victims—who are in distraught predicaments—until the two arrive at their final destiny in New York City. Ultimately, now, the readers are able to view the significance of saving each of the victim’s life as the entire plot is finally uncovered. Ride the Starlight and experience the latest time-travel saga of J.C. and Smitty.
