Humorous Fantasy Satire
by Chris Whyatt
A riotous fantasy humour triple!
Landos - a bustling, developing (slowly) city of chancers, lunatics, thieves and utter stupidity... and that's just the coppers!
Book One - SVELT:
Are you ready to join an unlikely hero on an unexpected quest?
A wizard is murdered in a desperate attempt at stalling the progress of invention, randomly dragging an innocent into an age-old conflict after he 'inherits' the old trickster's puzzling map.
With the drawing as his only guide, Svelt reluctantly begins searching for the unnamed artefact.
But he is not alone...
A determined, ruthless 'messenger' Heaven-bent on preventing it from being discovered, and an ancient, mischievous, time-travelling beast resurrected from his Triangulan tomb by a powerful sorceress, 'aiding' the confused soul in his quest.
Not to mention the surprisingly short arm of the 'law'.
And, of course, nothing complicates matters quite like a beautiful elf.
Unwanted attention in Landos isn't conducive to life expectancy much beyond lunchtime... particularly for a dwarf troll.
Book Two - EVENTFUL TIMES:
An astronomical anomaly causes widespread panic!
With a strong possibility of impending doom for humanity, Death looms grimly over the entire planet - he doesn't know how to loom any other way.
The non-tangible believers turn to (insert here). The citizens of Landos turn to the authorities. The authorities turn to the scientists. The scientists turn to the wizards. The wizards turn to brandy... and eventually, when the threat becomes impossible to ignore (even by wizard thresholds), someone has the good sense to ask for practical help.
But is perennial tinkerer Albert Sonny ready for such a challenge?
Book Three - THE Nth HORSEMAN:
Landos is under attack again!
This time, a long-forgotten winged menace terrorises the citizens. With rewards on offer, the ever-resourceful opportunists register their dubious services, yet, even a professional slayer meets his match with this beast - unprecedented in the entire history of dragon lore... not to mention mathematics.
A specialist horseman of the twilight is summoned to guide victims in the unorthodox aftermath - his steed not being particularly fond of sugar lumps, and noticeably lacking in the limb department.
