Quondam et Futurus

by Jared Kitchens

What if you could return to your youth, but with all the skills and experience you have now? The Latin phrase quondam et futurus translates as "Once and Future," which describes the way Quondam Anon lives his life. One minute, he's the quintessential whiny teen hero, and in the blink of an eye, he becomes the aged mentor, wise beyond his years. In this, the 3rd book of the Anachronist Chronicles, Quondam and his giant friend Munder travel through 13th Century Eastern Asia, get all mixed up in historical events, and fight the bloodthirsty minions of the Infinis, an eternally suicidal death god. To make things worse, Quondam can't remember fighting the same battles thirty years earlier, and Munder keeps turning more and more bestial. Oh, and Quondam's wooden sword might have a mind of its own.What if the Earth is doomed to destroy itself, and there's nothing Quondam can do to stop it?
