Robby Andersen, a.k.a Trev-Vor is enjoying his retirement from the days of subversive comics and now walks with cane. His niece and nephew are surprised to discover that TreV-Vor wrote The Legend of Firefall, and Robby is surprised to learn its being made into a film with none other than Wren Lane, shot in none other than Lone Butte.

A year later, life has changed for everyone involved in 'Knightshade: The Lathe of Firefall' one way or another. Robby finally sees the ending Uncle Bob's story in full technicolour.

The debut novel by Academy Award-winning actor Tom Hanks is a love letter to movie making and the people who make them.
