With all modern technology rendered totally useless, Sam must fight demons, monsters, dragons and massive, medieval armies to get home. His impossible plan: get out of New York, cross the USA, find a way home without getting caught up in the ever growing war. Events conspire to draw Sam deeper and deeper into becoming a pivotal figure in the struggle to save Earth from the horrors that are befalling it.
