| Abstract |
"Now the Black King has dispersed Steven Bauer and his friends through time. The gathered White have spent weeks delivering innocents across North America from the destructive forces of the latest universal correction, all the while waiting for the inevitable moment when the Game summons them all to a checkered battlefield to fight for their lives. Powerless and scattered across the centuries with no way to return to their own time, they wrestle with their fates: Steven and Niklaus, banished to the Florida coast of 1945 as a deadly hurricane threatens to tear the state apart. Archie and Emilio, struggling to survive the bitter winter and flying bullets of 1890 Wyoming. Audrey and Lena, entangled in the mob violence of 1930s Chicago as a specter from the past makes an ominous return. In every time and at every turn, a familiar face, some friendly, others not. And where is Grey, the immortal wizard who wears the White crown?" -- page 4 of cover. |
