Summary
MEN IN
BLACK
AT THE REN FAIRE!
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.
