You probably will love it or hate it.

If you've read a lot and like nods to historical figures and times, this may be for you. Guy from the late 1800s England goes off to find his twin brother who is lost in Africa. He travels to get there encountering some interesting individuals along the way and then goes through a portal to get stuck in the "dungeon" (have you ever played dungeons & dragons or another role playing game?) and encounters all sorts of people and creatures from the past, from his future, our future, and alien creatures, too.

If you like to imagine how a British military person from the late 1800s might deal with Japanese WWII pilots or a cyber lady from the late 1900s, enjoy reading a book that has nods to many other books and times along the way, this may be for you.

I might have liked this when I was reading choose your own adventure books in junior high, but that was a long time ago and ultimately, this book seemed shallow and convoluted and wasn't for me. YMMV.
