Who cleans up the mess left by centuries of careless time travel? In The Last Protector, the task falls to a Ranger from the future, a bodyguard from the past, and a serving wench who doesn't believe she has the power to save the world--but will pretend she does, if the price is right. With two weeks before the streams of time cross and destroy the world, the three must overcome fire-breathing dragons, assassination plots, a cult that worships a comic-strip character, and the demons of their own pasts. In their journey across a theme-park world whose Cast has waited a century for its Guests to arrive, they encounter microbots, pyroviruses, and the World's Most Perfect Beer Container. Along the way, they discover that sometimes the world just doesn't want to be saved, and that while duty always calls, sometimes nature calls louder and duty has to wait.
