Publisher's summary

Opening a new fantasy trilogy from Hugo Award winner Mike Resnick, this novel offers an adventure through space and time as Eddie Raven tries to outrun the dark forces pursuing him.

Eddie Raven isn't quite sure what's happening to him - and he's in a race to find out before it kills him.

His adventures begin with a shooting in a very strange shop in Manhattan - but soon he finds himself the owner of a very familiar bar in Casablanca. By the time he adjusts to that reality, he's suddenly become one of several undersized people helping a young woman search for a wizard. And after confronting the wizard, he somehow finds himself in Camelot.

But as he rushes to solve the mystery of his many appearances, a larger threat looms. Because someone or something is stalking him through time and space with deadly intent.

Slow start, don't really care what happens to hero

I really liked Resnick's other books, but this one spends the whole novel leaving everyone except a nebulous voice completely clueless on what is going on. Eddie Raven is largely ineffectual, and given that he's the guy we're supposed to care about, that's a major flaw. Also there's the "Master of Dreams" who is supposed to be his "arch-enemy", but we see him only briefly. And when we do see him, he's pretty ineffectual too. All in all, it's just a lackluster story.

The narrator does not help either. I remember one sentence which ended with "Raven said sardonically". The only way I knew the dialogue was supposed to be sardonic is because the author told me so. The narrator read that sentence like he was ordering lunch. His voice and delivery are pleasant without any annoying ticks or habits, though, so I did finish the book. He is good, but won't be elevated to list of the greats without some acting coaching.

AMAZING Performance!

A fast & whimsical read. The narrator really made the book with listening to; the story itself is fun but left some plot holes. Would recommend as a pallet cleanser after reading a dark or heavy book.
