Review
This is the best fantasy book I have ever edited. Or is it science fiction? I like the characters, I like the world the author built, and I love the humor. But all this is the sugarcoating: as with all great writing, under all the adventure, there are serious messages that deserve thought. --Dr. Bob Rich, writer, mudsmith and psychologist
This is as perfect a book as I have ever read. I could not imagine a more perfect one. Character and story development are both masterful, building from intriguing introduction to deep familiarity, without forfeiting any of the mystery. The story deepens and broadens without losing any of its richness. The story flows in and out of present time, delving into multiple threads, without ever getting tangled up in any of them. All resolve together, rather like Saughblade's tartan: torn, blood-stained, ragged, and the fit mantle for any king by the end. --David A. Schmaltz, author of The Blind Men and the Elephant
The Last Protector is a fascinating meld of super-high-tech and medieval machismo, with its mystery cleverly revealed by bits and pieces of its backstory over time. Techno-marvels abound, including the modern equivalent of seven-league boots, nanobots that repair broken limbs, a mind-manipulating musical instrument, and a sword that cuts everything except its owner. ...The Last Protector is wrought with superlative imagination. The action sequences flow smoothly. The suspense and mystery carry the reader through the penultimate question of whether the characters will succeed in saving the worlds of this richly-crafted multiverse. --Lee Denning, author of Monkey Trap
Product Description
Who cleans up the mess left by centuries of careless time travel? In The Last Protector, the task falls to a Ranger from the future, a bodyguard from the past, and a serving wench who doesn't believe she has the power to save the world--but will pretend she does, if the price is right. With two weeks before the streams of time cross and destroy the world, the three must overcome fire-breathing dragons, assassination plots, a cult that worships a comic-strip character, and the demons of their own pasts. In their journey across a theme-park world whose Cast has waited a century for its Guests to arrive, they encounter microbots, pyroviruses, and the World's Most Perfect Beer Container. Along the way, they discover that sometimes the world just doesn't want to be saved, and that while duty always calls, sometimes nature calls louder and duty has to wait.
