Publisher Description
Swords, sorcery, and time travel are a strange and dangerous mix
Wayfarer Inspector Danolarian saw his world's future and did not approve. The inspector knew about time travel because he had once met his future self. What he did not know was that he would be abducted into the future, and wind up on the run with a constable who had shape-shifted into a cat. Danolarian would also find himself marooned in the ancient past, where he would have to recover his time engine from five thousand naked, psychopathic horsemen.
A faulty repair plunges him another three million years back in time, to a world of strange, beautiful people living idyllic lives in splendid castles. But things are not always as they seem. After being attacked, he learns from his unlikely rescuer that time travel is not entirely real. A furious Danolarian returns to his own time, planning revenge against the time engine's true builders.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The insubstantial fourth Moonworlds title picks up the pastiche of Wells's Time Machine where 2007's Voidfarer leaves off. When Wayfarer Insp. Danolarian Scryverin is abducted by a woman from a future world, he sets out to learn how and why he has been transported, even as it becomes clear that his case interests powerful people who inhabit the world between life and death. After he returns to his own time, fulfilling his destiny by completing a circle of causality, he travels further back to a distant, idyllic past, finally learning a shocking truth about all the places and things he has seen. New readers may find themselves puzzled, despite plenty of exposition, and much of the humor falls flat, but nonstop action is mostly enough to keep readers turning the pages.
