Seventeen-year-old Mitchell's days working in Hell's accounting department may finally be over when he steals a time-travel device to prevent his own death. Complications arise when his three best friends--Viking prince Alfarin, seventeenth-century-London peasant Elinor, and 1960s rebel Medusa--insist on traveling with him. Likable, complex characters; clever humor; and a well-plotted time-travel narrative combine for a unique, highly enjoyable read.
