Synopses & Reviews
Kevin heard a mans voice from somewhere on the other side of his room.
“Show me your hands, Strange One.”
A grim voice.
“Stand–slowly–and show me your hands.”
Kevin is trying to remember what hes supposed to do if theres an intruder in the house: stay calm, dont look scared, call 911. At the same time, hes doing his best to figure out how the heck some guy with a bow and arrows got into the room. The archers explanation–“I lost my balance, fell off the tiger, and landed here”–just adds to Kevins bewilderment.
The strangers astonishing arrival is only the beginning of a dazzling adventure. For the man, whom Kevin calls Archer or Archie, has come from a centuries-old Korean kingdom. And its up to Kevin to find a way to send him back through space and time . . . before history is changed forever.
