'The Death Merchant' Story Code '9625' by Bob and Wanda Duncan

July 1863: Doug and Tony materialise on the battlefield at Gettysburg during the American Civil War, where they see a sinister man and his mastiff dog. Tony is hit by a sudden burst of gunfire, and is declared bead by a Union Major. Learning that Doug that has seen the man with the dog, the Major gives him a uniform and orders him to accompany him; he informs Doug that the man, Michaels, is planning to sell gunpowder to the Rebels - he must be stopped or more lives will be lost at the forthcoming battle. Meanwhile, the staff at Project Tic-Toc send a power surge down the Time Tunnel directed at Tony’s corpse, which succeeds in shocking him back to life. However, the scientist has now lost his memory, and when a Confederate sergeant mistakes him for the courier bringing money for Michaels, Tony decides to joins him in searching for Michaels. Doug and the Major track Michaels to a cabin, but in the ensuing swordfight the Major is killed and Doug captured. The time traveller is shocked to discover that Michaels is actually the Fifteenth-Century political philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli, who has somehow been brought through time to 1863; it seems that Machiavelli is enjoying the slaughter of battle, and is doing his best to encourage as much death and destruction at Gettysburg as possible…

Cliff-hanger: Materialising in the Thirteenth-Century during a Mongolian battle, Doug and Tony are captured and brought before Batu Khan, the grandson of the mighty warrior Genghis Khan…
