Book description
This is the Ultimate Fantasy: a quest of epic reach spanning the globe
under the mythologies of five great cultures - and finally crossing the
barrier between life and death. Jack Churchill, archaeologist and
dreamer, walks out of the mist and into Celtic Britain more than two
thousand years before he was born, with no knowledge of how he got
there. All Jack wants is to get home to his own time where the woman he
loves waits for him. Finding his way to the timeless mystical
Otherworld, the home of the gods, he plans to while away the days, the
years, the millennia, until his own era rolls around again . . . but
nothing is ever that simple. A great Evil waits in modern times and will
do all in its power to stop Jack's return. In a universe where time and
space are meaningless, its tendrils stetch back through the years . . .
Through Roman times, the Elizabethan age, Victoria's reign, the Second
World War to the Swinging Sixties, the Evil sets its traps to destroy
Jack. Mark Chadbourn gives us a high adventure of dazzling sword fights,
passionate romance and apocalyptic wars in the days leading up to
Ragnarok, the End-Times: a breathtaking, surreal vision of twisting
realities where nothing is quite what it seems.
