Avalon, Season Six, Witches & Outlaws

The Avalon Series is designed to be a television show in written form. Like any good show, an episode or two should be enough to grasp who the characters are, how this all works, and follow along. It is not necessary to read it all in chronological order, so starting with season six should be fine. Of course, after the season, you may want to go back and power-read it from the beginning. I look forward to someday seeing this show filmed, or maybe animated. Who knows?

Avalon.
The travelers came instantly to the beginning of history on a rescue mission. Things did not go as planned. Now, to get home, the travelers must return the slow way, following the Amulet of Avalon that points the way from one time gate to the next. They must cross dangerous time zones that center around the many lives of the Kairos, the traveler in time, the watcher over history, a person who never lives a quiet life.

They have unlimited vitamins and elf crackers, for their health; and unlimited bullets, needed far too often. They ride mustangs brought back from the old west, and wear fairy weave clothing that they can shape and change with a word in order to blend into the local culture. By a special gift of the Kairos, they can understand and be understood no matter the local language. It helps, because inevitably they deal with thieves, brigands, armies and empires, gods and monsters, spirits and creatures, space aliens and the great unknown. They try hard not to disturb history along the way.

To be sure, all they want is to get home in one piece, but they are not the only ones lost in time. Some people lost in time might want to follow them, or even go with them. But some people are not so friendly, and not everything lost in time is a person. Some want to fight the travelers. Some want to hunt them.

In season six, the Travelers pick up a professor in antiquities and his wife, who fell into the past from 1905. They are hunted by the necromancer, fight three cowboy-outlaws from 1875, and face a powerful witchthe evil replica of a woman from 1905 still living in the days of Julius Caesar. This is only added to the troubles they find in each time zone: alien Humanoids and Wolv, plagues, wars, struggles between people, and a couple of attempts to make guns and gunpowder before gunpowder is even invented.

Look for the entire Avalon series, including The Prequel: Invasion of Memories. Following the Pilot Episode are nine seasons of adventures through the days of myth and legend, ancient empires, the birth of great civilization, and into the modern era, where the dangers grow exponentially. Enjoy Season Six, Witches & Outlaws, and Happy Reading. MGK *
