A wealthy collector, a man desiring unique historical objects, wants a new addition for his museum: a recording of Abraham Lincoln’s “lost speech” in Bloomington, Illinois. Yet from the first, Steward’s mission is plagued with problems. His initial scouting expedition deposits him the day after the speech, creating the risk of “cancellation”. When he returns with a team to record the speech, he must deal with an unalterable deadline, the suspicions of the locals, and a team member whose instability threatens the mission.

'Twas boring in Artesia. ...or so thought Sir Lafayette O'Leary, ex-draftman from Earth, and now seemingly ex-interdimensional swashbuckler extraordinaire as well. His battles were all won, his dragons all slain, and life was just the same boring round of riches, royal hunts and regattas. Boring, boring, boring; untilhe walked past the azalia... Suddenly Artesia was gone, and O'Leary was trapped in Melange, a world of giants and pirates, karate-chopping hags and electronic flying carpets, a world where goons and harlots are the spitting images (literally!) of his own aristocratic Artesian associates. And because they think that he's his double, lots of his new friends want O'Leary dead. Unless he can get through the interdimensional gate and find the continuum path back home, O'Leary's life will never be boring again. Just short.
