Short description

A Comedy of Greed, War, Hatred, Betrayal, and Other Desirable Things. DON QUIXOTE tilts at THE PRINCESS BRIDE in a satirical romp through the fields of epic fantasy.

Extended description

A man with no name, no country, no face, has one simple desire: revenge on the tyrant who robbed him of all else. Just a few small obstacles stand in his way. . . .

Greed: Sagrendus the Golden, Prince of Dragons, has a good business: abduct princess, collect ransom, repeat until rich. He charges extra for taking sides.

War: General Griffin, ogre mercenary, always fights for his client — even if there is nobody to fight against.

Hatred: Princess Jacinth hates the man she will have to marry — whoever he is. She also hates kings, rescuers, men, women, and especially porcelain dolls.

Betrayal: What keeps King Talvos on the throne of Ilberion? He’s better at double-crossing than anyone who double-crosses him.

And then there is one young fool with a sword, who still believes in heroes. Revenge is about to get a lot more complicated.

Review by: Unspeakable Publications on Aug. 06, 2012 :
Delightful, simply delightful. Echoes of Steven Brust's "The Phoenix Guards" and notes of Simon Green's "Blue Moon Rising," but a noble tale in its own right, nobly and hilariously told. The language is a joy, the plots thick and fast. Enjoy!
