Highmage's Plight

Professor George Bradley, computer staff in hand, €œenvisions€ an archaeological site, which could turn history on its head. Then he falls through a ripple in reality.

He enters a world where: trolls think they are human; elves believe humans can€t do magic since they don€t have souls; a child of prophecy is dying of a curse; a shape-changer is bent on killing him; a seeress keeps too many secrets; and an ogre and a boy struggle to defend a keep against the evil ruling it.

This is a world where a starship crash landed, bringing about a war, which led to the laws of magic defeating those of science.

Here a demon rages, intent on destroying all life, its minions intent on killing the human mage from another world.

If that wasn€t bad enough, George€s computer is now rather sarcastic.
