Into the Ether

by Andrew Whitehead

When his parents and younger siblings leave on a 10 week holiday to Australia, 17 year old Edmund finds himself transported to the 14th century at the beginning of the Black Death. He tries to help the people of that time with his 21st century knowledge of medical science. Along the way he makes many friends and a few enemies who do not like his interfering ways because they contradict the beliefs of the Medieval period. He travels around the area he grew up in, but nearly 700 years earlier, noting the similarities and changes. His experiences give him many pleasures and difficulties as he tries to fit into Medieval society. This often causes him and his new friends confusion, laughter and some embarrassment. He may even experience a little romance! His influence finally becomes too much of a threat to the powers of the time and they try to silence him. How will Edmund deal with this and will he survive?
