But how is it all interconnected? And what does it have to do with a time-traveling serf and a secret society whose motto is "Walk away?" "Linguistic gymnastics abound... Vigorito demonstrates once again that he's a wild stylist... startlingly original... an entertaining anarchist..." --The Chicago Sun-Times
