Thomas Quinn, Reluctant Sorcerer of the Arcanum
Whats the reward for a job well done For the Roman general Belisarius, it was a trial and conviction. Thomas Quinn, sorcerer, after having just saved the world this side of the veil, is hoping for a gentler fate from the tribunal called to pass judgment on him. But after centuries of putting his life on the line for humanity, he just doesnt have a lot of patience with protocol.
In fact, hes never been known for tact or subtlety, and one of these days that may get him trouble. Again. For the time being, the reward for doing his job Its back to Philadelphia, back to his little shop of esoteric goodsand back to the range, just in case hes needed to save the world one more time.
