It’s been thirteen long years since Rick Galloway was shanghaied and carted away by a flying saucer to the planet Tran, where humans were both administrators and slaves. Since then, he's survived mutinies, civil wars, battles against Byzantine Romans, medieval knights, and Mongol raiders. Now, things are about to change yet again. New Starmen have arrived on Tran with dangerous gifts and star weapons none have faced before. Rick Galloway’s mission on Tran is about to be turned on its head. But there is one thing that hasn’t changed in thirteen long years: When all goes sideways, it’s Rick Galloway who gets called upon to fix the situation—and to fix it immediately, if not sooner!

1759 dawns and Halley’s Comet blazes across the sky. Then—disaster! Destroyed in a magical battle, a portion of the comet strikes, and Earth will never be the same. The Sundering has come. Magic everywhere is now real. Creatures from fairy tales and folklore spring to life. And who does the magically charged New World turn to for help? None other than the Father of Electricity himself, Benjamin Franklin!
