Seriously clichéd millionaire playboy Major Connor MacLeod, is nonetheless no ordinary forty year old millionaire playboy. A highly decorated army officer, a world and Olympic champion sportsman, a scholar with degrees in science, engineering, and history, he has lived his twenty years of public life at full throttle. Frenemies typically describe him as arrogant, reckless, irresponsible and positively suicidal, but he has proven, to date, to be the proverbial unstoppable force.

But all good things must come to an end.

Conn has "inherited" a method of passing from this time and dimension to another; one that he believes to be a lot like, but is most definitely not, 9th Century Europe. When he steps from this world to another, will he have finally bitten off more than he can chew?
