Sam Gordon is followed by someone dressed like a wizard. He figures the guy to be another San Francisco lunatic until the man meets Sam at his favorite café carrying on about time continuum portals. Assured of the man's insanity, Sam escapes out the back door, which drops him into a strange place.

In a land of green grass and no automobiles, Sam cannot find the door back to the café. He questions his sanity and sets out to find someone who can give him directions. When he is attacked by a swordsman on horseback, a beautiful young woman named Margot, intervenes. She speaks an archaic dialect of Anglo-Saxon — a language Sam didn't know until that moment. Sam travels with them to Camelot and finds himself in King Arthur's court. Working as a blacksmith and studying the druidic arts under Merlin's tutelage, Sam learns he must complete an unknown task before a portal can open to his own place and time.

Merlin's Apprentice

I groaned. Guinevere grinned, flippantly latched the door, and pressed her bare breasts against my naked chest. Then her lips were on mine, tongue probing. Her hands squeezed and pulled my butt, mashing our pelvises together, gyrating.


My resolve weakened. I rose to the moment and gave in to my passion, kissing her back. There was only so much I could take, only so much any man could take. All right, I’m weak. Overwhelmed with desire, I made to throw her on the bed and enjoy the pleasures she had instigated.


No, I thought. With a tremendous force of will, I broke our lip-lock. “I can’t do this. Please stop.”


She kissed my neck, chest, and belly as I spoke, simultaneously unbuckling my belt and yanking my trousers to my ankles. She continued down.


“Oh — My — God,” I moaned, totally in her power. Then a spark of my resistance returned. “No,” I said, pushing her back with firm determination. “No,” I repeated louder with more confidence.
