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

Our tactical withdrawal to Camlann took us five days. The distance was less than forty miles. A single rider could make the journey in two days, or less if one could change horses, but we were two legions consisting of ten thousand men on horseback.


Our initial egress from Portchester allowed us to get as far as Southampton by nightfall, where we attempted to set up an ambush. Lancelot was ecstatic, but Mordred’s generals were smart enough to send scouts, so the enemy knew we were waiting for them. So instead of us attacking them, they struck first.
