When Richard Clarkson arrived in South Africa to attend the funeral of
his estranged father, Peter, the last thing he expected was to inherit
a fortune. He harkly knew the man, hadn't seen him since childhood. But
it wasn't just the money that would shake up his view of the world.
Before long Richard and his wife are entangled in a struggle between
the CIA, British MI-6 and the South African government over a
million-year-old artefact with Peter Clarkson's name on it. And on his
father's estate is a workshop, hidden below ground, designed for the
construction of pods that allow passage through time, something that
has created unexpected consequences for Richard and the rest of
the world. Whatever the outcome, all roads apparently lead to Peter
Clarkson who may be the key to stopping the unraveling of a seriously
damaged timeline.

Alan Branson thought his next challenge in life was managing his own
coffee shop, but a brief encounter with a strange customer at Coffee
Quest changed his job description forever. Apparently, if you can brew
a good Double Mocha Hazelnut Dream for a reality hopping dead wizard,
you're qualified to rule the land of his birth. In the blink of an eye,
Alan finds himself in a world filled with magic and magical characters,
some who reluctantly support his new position as king, and others who
will gladly end his claim to the throne, along with his life. If Alan
can harness the natural energy that flows from the land into its ruler,
he may just become strong enough to survive a grand tour to meet his
new subjects.

Be careful what you pray for. I merely asked to live a long healthy
life and hinted that I wouldn't mind starting over while keeping the
knowledge I had accumulated in my fifty-eight years. And if a better
set of tits and less wrinkles were involved, I certainly wouldn't
complain. Well, I'm here to tell you, God does listen... to
everything... and he's got quite a frigging sense of humor. I'm the
undead proof.
