Description

Who cleans up the mess left by two centuries of careless recreational time travel? In The Last Protector, Daniel Starr's new novel from Paladin Timeless Books, 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 is willing to pretend she does, as long as the price is right. With two weeks to reconcile the present of one world and the past of another before the streams of time cross and both worlds come to an end, the three must overcome assassins, dragons, and the demons of their own pasts. Along the way, they encounter a theme-park Cast that's waited a century for its Guests to arrive, a religion built around a comic-strip character, microbots, pyroviruses, and the world's most perfect beer container. They learn that sometimes the world just doesn't want to be saved, and that while duty always calls, sometimes nature calls louder and duty just has to wait. And as a budding romance threatens the brotherhood of two men dedicated to saving the world, all three must ultimately discover within themselves the spirit of sacrifice that will lead them to risk everything for what each truly loves. At once lighthearted and deadly serious, The Last Protector deftly mixes science fiction and fantasy as it explores commitment, abandonment, vengeance and romance. This reverently irreverent adventure just might change the way you think about life, love, sacrifice... and beer.
