  • Summary

  • Last Chance - a small town set on the edge of the far frontier. It is a place of gentle manners and common civility. After all, it should be since more than three quarters of its residents are women. However times change when a Talent Master runs rampant, savages threaten war, and an illegal militia from an alternate universe plans invasion and empire. A hero is needed. A Savior. Meet Aaron Turner, the small unassuming man who runs the Last Chance General Store. He is this town's--this world's--only hope. Unfortunately for the town, Aaron also happens to be a soldier and Militia spy whose job is to prepare the ground for the Militia's invasion. To help him with this task, he has a cellar filled with advanced weaponry and the unique ability to teleport between the two worlds. However after a year of living within Last Chance, Aaron is no longer sure in which direction his loyalties lie.

    Chapter 3 opens with an introduction to Aaron's home world and Field's Everlasting life Militia. After a man is murdered during a training exercise, we learn of the Militia's plans for the newly discovered world, and we get an idea of just how little Aaron is respected by General Field and the other Militia officers. Part one of chapter four has Aaron once again receiving sword lessons from Sarah Townsend outside of town. Aaon proves inept. The lessons are halted when they see that they are being watched by a pair of savages. After walking back into town, Aaron stops at the inn with Sarah and learns a bit more about when the town was attacked by Movers two years earlier. He discovers that Cathy's parents were killed in that attack, and he hears a bit more about Talent and Talent Stones.
