About Michael Anthony
Michael Anthony is the editor of a major news site in the United States, where he spends his days herding news, memes, and the occasional conspiracy theory into something resembling coherence. A proud resident of Hollywood, Florida — land of flamingos, questionable life choices, and retirees who drive 25 mph in the left lane — he is rapidly pushing 60 while still refusing to act his age.
Instead of a sensible mid-life crisis involving a sports car or golf, he decided to write a series about immortals lying to their kids, dragons that sing Beethoven, and the terrible decisions humans make across centuries. He blames Elon Musk, too much coffee, and the fact that Florida man stories never get boring. When he’s not yelling at clouds or dodging alligators, he’s busy proving that it’s never too late to launch a book series… or a slow-motion existential meltdown with dragons.

Medieval Future: Because History Was Too Boring the First Time
In a world where immortals treat parenting like an extreme sport, dragons drop Beethoven symphonies mid-battle, and humanity keeps making the same terrible decisions across centuries (just with better Wi-Fi sometimes), one thing is clear: the past isn’t dead. It’s just heavily medicated, sarcastic, and occasionally on fire.
Michael Anthony figured if he was going to have a mid-life crisis, it might as well involve time-jumping conspiracies, shape-shifting reptiles with opinions, and enough family drama to make the Tudors look functional. Instead of buying a Corvette or taking up golf like a normal almost-60-year-old, he wrote a book series about ancient beings who lie to their kids, magical creatures who quote philosophy while setting things ablaze, and the glorious mess humans create every time they think they’ve finally figured it out.
Blame Elon Musk for the inspiration, Florida Man for the plot twists, and way too much coffee for the fact that these books exist at all.
Welcome to Medieval Future — where the Middle Ages never really ended, they just got better special effects, worse decisions, and a dragon that insists on conducting the 9th Symphony during sieges.
It’s never too late to launch a book series. Or a slow-motion existential meltdown with scales and sarcasm.
(Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go yell at some clouds and dodge alligators. Deadline waits for no Florida retiree.)

What if the future didn’t look like flying cars and gleaming megacities… but knights, dragons, and forgotten gods?
Led by Elon Musk’s vision, the first Ark carried a small crew of immortals across centuries of void to seed humanity among the stars. They brought resets that granted eternal youth — and one devastating lie: that immortality was a one-time gift they could not repeat.
Now, on the verdant world they name New America, the immortals must watch their descendants build kingdoms while they remain forever young. As ancient dragons awaken and old Earth secrets rise from the ruins, the crew’s hidden deceptions threaten to unravel everything.
From the quiet guilt of the long voyage to blood-soaked battles between rising empires, Medieval Future blends hard sci-fi with epic fantasy in a sweeping saga of immortality’s burden, human nature, and the cost of eternity.
