Running Up That Hill |
1. David J. Mackie, science-fiction writer from a "Sleep of Reason" Earth, wakes one morning in the 1990 of a "Murphy's Law" Earth, where he's supposed to be David A. Mackie, computer programmer on primitive devices he knows nothing about, married to a wife named Deborah whom he's never met.
2. David A. Mackie, computer programmer from a "Murphy's Law" Earth, wakes one morning in the 2003 of an "O'Toole's Corollary" Earth, where he's supposed to be Anthony J. Mackie, Army recruiter. Of course, in a world like this, everyone he's ever known is dead.
3. Anthony J. Mackie, army recruiter from an "O'Toole's Corollary" Earth, wakes one morning in the 2003 of a White Event Earth, where he's supposed to be Anthony MacKay, the secret identity of Invictus, the greatest super-hero of them all, and the one with the heaviest burdens.
4. Anthony MacKay, super-hero from a White Event Earth, wakes one morning in the 2756 of a "Roma Victoria" Earth, where he's supposed to teach Imperial Latin to the Hanguli. Everything is strange; even modern Imperial Latin isn't the Classical Latin he knew as Invictus.
5. Antonius Iohannes Servicius, Imperial Legionnaire from a "Roma Victoria" Earth, wakes one morning in the 2003/2756 of a "Sleep of Reason" Earth where the Empire fell two thousand years ago and the world is made up of barbarian nations. Some of them speak Latin; but the New Latin of Zamenhof isn't the modern Imperial Latin he grew up with.
