More About The Reptile Wars

This is a story about a crazy scientist's son, Vinny, who gets caught up in the subject of his father's dangerous research into evolution and the potential for genetic crossover between human beings and reptiles.  Vinny falls through a rip in time and comes face-to-face with the aggressive, predatory nature of the reptilian brain played out in a war between Christians and Moors of the 13th century.  Here, he has to deal with Harald the Merciless, a strange undead manipulator called Phar Lazar and his drugged-up puppet, Prince Ynyr.  On Vinny's side are Eneko Azenari, a wolfkiller, and a giant poet called Gonzalo de Zanj.

But this is only the start of this story, or the beginning may be yet to come.  For two books are to follow: one featuring the writings of Gonzalo de Zanj, centuries later, when they get into the hands of an extreme religious cult in Victorian times; and another, set in 2883, when some of these characters are still to be found attempting to control the human life span.
