Blunderbuss Wanderlust: Being an Account of the Temporal Travels of Colonel Victor Von Vector & the Eras of His Ways — David Shapiro

Colonel Victor Von Vector has a blunderbuss gun with a peculiar recoil. When he shoots, he gets kicked back in time 600 million years to the Cambrian Period. With each subsequent shot, Victor moves through geologic time, encountering beasts of the past and wandering through the varied environments that have colored Earth's history. Utilizing the Shakespearian sonnet as his means of record, Victor's journey from Cambrian, to Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, Permian, Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Tertiary, Pleistocene, Holocene, and back to his home time of the Edwardian is presented in 17 poems and 17 illustrated plates
