Earth is dying. It's resources are contaminated. Plagues have decimated the population to a mere two million- a population number not seen on Earth for fifty-thousand years. With time running out, Earth sends probes to find suitable planets to move its population to before their impending extinction. Project Arcturus is born. An advance party is sent to the distant world of Arcturus to eliminate the current population. The force does not expect the Post Iron-Age civilization to be any threat at all. On Arcturus peace reigns. The upcoming harvest festival and sacrifice is their foremost issue. As the Arcturians become aware of the impending invasion, they turn to the One that provides all their guidance. Thanks to a decision thousands of years ago, God still walks among them. Earth's plans for an easy conquering of the planet are wrong. Very wrong.

As a writer, Robert P. Wills is often asked by his friends to include them as character in one of his stories. Sometimes that is not possible. As was the case with his friend, Jack. This book solves that problem- Jack is the one and only character. EVERYTHING revolves around Jack. As it should. In fact, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." is the only content of this epic tome. Well, except for a few instances, that is. But you (or Jack) will have to search for them SO- Now that the author's friend, Jack is happy, he wants to share the best gift anyone named Jack could get. With you. You're lucky that way. So-- Buy the book, put a book mark in it anywhere, then put it on your coffee table, end table, or bathroom. When your guests open it out of curiosity, they will be confused because it's the same sentence over and over (mostly). Confused guests are a good thing. Or, if you have a friend named Jack, this is the perfect gift for him.

It is a time of celebration as Julesville plans a Victory over Halfling Day. The V-H jubilee planning committee does NOT need Grimbledung's help. Across town, Big Julie is having a theft problem. Wands are disappearing at an alarming rate from her students. At wit's end, she hires Grimbledung to go undercover at the school as a transfer student to ferret out the thief. Grim Noir is on the case! It doesn't go as planned. Love is in the air! Cheri settles down with her long lost love. Akita sets his eyes on the mysterious Elf, Maca. Then, just when there couldn't (or shouldn't) be more romance- two Dwarfesses arrive in town. They're interested in Grimbledung and Drimblerod. Really, really interested. Of course that probably isn't what it seems. However, as Akita says "Every pot has its lid," so maybe it will work out in the end. Spoiler Alert: It doesn't."

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. It really, really does. Jack should be more involved in play than work. All play and no work makes Jack a fun boy. That's how we like Jack; fun. Put a bookmark anywhere in this book and place it on your end table, coffee table, or bathroom. When guests come over and they flip through this book. They will become confused. Confused guests are fun to have. So is a fun Jack who plays instead of works.

Aution lay in ruins. Charred, smoldering ruins. The Gnomes, Rat, and Nulu make their way to Big Julie's School of Magic. They're looking for a place to hide out until things cool down. News hasn't spread about Grimbledung being responsible for the town-wide fire and they want to keep it that way. Julesville is founded around Julie's school and everything seems to be moving along smoothly until a newly-unemployed Werewolf and Haberdashery owner show up. With Akita and Pozzuoli in town, things aren't looking good for Grimbledung! Fortunately for him, the impending Halfling invasion gets everyone's attention. When a contingent of battle-hardened Halflings arrive in town and declares Martial Law, things look dire. To make matters worse, the Halfling Army masses on the other side of the Anti-Ogre wall. Working together, the gang tricks the Halfling soldiers into leaving Julesville (intact even), repels the Halfling invasion, and restores peace to The Lands. Well, not really those last two...
