Present Tense
A masterful world-builder and award-winning fantasist nonpareil, Dave Duncan carries us through the hidden portals that link two war-wounded worlds... into a miraculous realm where mortals become gods.
THE GREAT GAME IS AFOOT!
In the midst of the horror of the first World War, a stranger falls
from nowhere into the mud and death of the Flanders
battlefield – bruised, babbling, and star naked... with a remarkable
story to tell.
Wrongly accused murderer Edward Exeter has reappeared on this Earth
bearing scars and secrets from somewhere he calls Nextdoor – a place of
godly intrigues and an ancient prophecy that he wants no part of. But
powerful forces on both sides of a mystical border have other plans for
the young fugitive. And now, in the company of loyal comrades, he must
flee murderous pursuers from two separate worlds. But there is no
escape from his destiny. For Exeter has obligations to the past and the
future that must be met... if myriad civilizations are to survive.
