Lost in Time (Marilyn Foxworthy) Books in Order

Lost in Time starts with one of Foxworthy's cleanest hooks. A man survives a glider crash and ends up stranded on a beach with wreckage, driftwood, and no clear way home. Then he notices something that definitely was not there before, a girl in a fur bikini walking toward him and speaking a language he does not understand.

The title is literal.

What follows is part survival story and part displacement fantasy. The island matters because it strips the situation down to basics, food, safety, communication, and whether either of these two people can trust the other. The time element gives the book its real charge. This is not just a stranded-man story. It is a stranded-man story with the unsettling feeling that the rules of history itself may have shifted.

Foxworthy keeps the emotional focus close. The early tension is not about saving the world. It is about learning where, or when, the protagonist is, and whether companionship is possible across that divide. That makes the book feel intimate even when the premise is huge.

If you want a single-volume entry into the broader Jensen chronology, this is a smart place to begin. It has adventure, isolation, language barriers, and the basic pleasure of watching two people try to build meaning in a place that makes no immediate sense.
