"When future is in your hands... only a fool would let go of it. Don't be that person." Albert is many things. Lazy, feckless and very, very drunk. Living in the lunar colony of Second City, a dreamlike place of science and magic, things are pretty easy for a part time night club worker. He sweeps the floors, cleans up occasionally and gets his drugs for free. No one wants for anything. Except a reason to keep going. When a strange man begs for his help, Albert led into a discovery that no one would have ever thought possible. He certainly wouldn't have, at any rate. A reason for being alive. Fraught with danger, excitement and a fairly active desire to curl up with a nice bottle in a dark room, his new life leads him to being something that he never would have dreamed possible. A good person. Possibly, a great one. If he can stay alive long enough to make that happen. *This is the beginning of the exciting story! Don't miss out

       

There is a time to act... When slavers from space came, Albert felt helpless. A single man, unimportant and frankly, more than a bit drunk couldn't save much of anyone. Now things have changed. A new job with some very important people, powers granted by one of the greatest wizards to have ever lived and a sense of urgency that he'd never had before. The kidnappers have made a mistake, after all, because Albert Benoist isn't just a man any more. He's an Ancient. More than that, he's the one designated to protect his people. The error was not understanding that everyone is his person now. All of them. Even the ones that come from the void itself. He will protect them. Even if it costs him everything.

       

Albert Benoist has been trying to save everyone one he can. Now, facing a war, he must risk everything to save not just one world, but possibly two. The only things he knows for certain, is that nothing is as it seems. Not any longer. Possibly, never again.
