Knight Watch: Volume 1

John Rast went to the Ren Faire looking for a
fight. Well, a simulated fight, with blunt swords and safety equipment. But when
his final opponent turns into a living, fire-breathing dragon, John finds
himself in the fight of his life. It's John or nothing stopping a disaster
in its tracks-and the only real weapon at hand is his mom's
Volvo. So John decides to let it roll . .
.

And that's when destiny comes to
call. John is spirited away to the well-hidden base of Knight Watch, the
organization that stands between humanity and the real nasties the rest of the
world doesn't know about.

Knight
Watch would be John's dream job-except for the storm goddess that
destroys his parents' house, the abandoned mall replete with too much
dead, and the Fetch that aims to make John's domain a final resting
place. All this has John's putative allies in the Knight
Watch worried that John is the one bringing bad things into multiple
worlds. John and his reluctant teammates have to figure out who, or what,
is pulling the strings before all of Knight Watch falls prey to a
well-concealed puppetmaster and far worse things enter this
world.
