Summaries
From the publisher:
Past and future worlds meet when a demon created by Sauron in the Second Age transports Richie Ryan into the middle of the Battle of Plennor Fields, leaving Duncan MacLeod in his own time, believing he has killed his friend and student. Should the demon return to Middle-Earth, who could have the strength to defeat it? And why are images of the dead appearing to Faramir, Eowyn, Sam, Gimli, Aragorn, and Pippin?
Summary from a distributor, Agent With Style:
When a young man mysteriously appears out of midair at the battle of the Pelennor Fields, one who returns to life following an arrow to the chest, Aragorn and Gandalf realize he was sent from the far distant future by an evil demon created by Sauron in the Second Age. Now, stranded in his past, Richie Ryan must face a world he is ill-prepared for, always hoping Gandalf will find a way to send him home, while all fervently wish the demon that challenged Duncan MacLeod will not find a way to return to Middle-Earth.
