The second book of the No-Name Roundabout series opens on a seemingly disastrous night, preceded by the events of No-Name Roundabout: Part One. However, tragedy is averted, and the tangled skein woven in Part One begins to unravel. We finally meet the van of the traveling showman, which takes its perplexed dinner guests on a trip back through time. But as quickly as the conundrum is resolved, fresh hazards arise to confound our voyagers. Consider the problem of the burned man under the hill. How will an ancient shaman's coat aid his escape from the labyrinth? Where will his fate intersect with the fortunes of the No-Name family, and what precisely is orchestrating this drama of time, space, and resolution?

How does the siege of Ryazan in the 13th century, by the Mongol Armies of the Great Khan, come to play its part? What will be discovered about that awful day? Only now will the baleful forces that have haunted the companions finally be understood, resolving themselves into the very nightmare figure that spurred Alice's original escape into that fateful slice of unused history. With this demi-human player now on the board, the chess game of fate, which will solve the crisis of a kink in the fabric of the planet's weave, can be played out.

Chthonic forces have been unleashed that threaten the very balance of the earth, and how likely is it that mere human bungling can mollify them?
