WORLD ENOUGH, AND TIME is the first book of this spell-binding action adventure trilogy. In a post-apocalyptic world 200 years from now, humans are a dying species. When Joshua’s wife is kidnapped by a gryphon and a vampire, he and his comrades—a centaur and an android—set out to rescue her across a surreal landscape filled with seemingly mythological creatures. But the explanation for the existence of these beasts is based in science, and informed by nightmare. And the odyssey isn’t over until they confront the evil cabal whose goal is nothing less than the extinction of the human race.

The six people in the log cabin looked up simultaneously; at each other, at the window, at the door. Their pulses jumped, pupils dilated, hairs stood erect – all adrenaline-heavy, atavistic.

Joshua nodded. Beauty backed off a few steps and raised his right arm. “Until soon, friend.”
“Until soon,” returned Josh. Beauty ran in the direction of Moorelli’s farm, while Joshua headed into the wood.
