The Imaginarium
Now, as it entered the final few centuries of its existence, beings from across the galaxy were recruited to play various roles. Truth be told, learning that they would be placed on a technologically backward world where the use of magic was commonplace surprised them at least as much as learning the goal of the plan. It must also be mentioned that every one of them had such strength of character that they barely hesitated when informed that, in order to preserve the secrecy of their missions, their memories would be temporarily blocked.
Their valiant efforts were such that a carefully edited version of their exploits was even now, in the 25th century, being used to teach a particular class in a certain university.
Please join me for the journey.
This is the first volume of Part One of The Clocks.
