    "description": "<p>Pratchett meets Tolkien in this hilarious contemporary romp through fantasy-land. Gonald the Mighty, ancient, weather-beaten, but still rather handsome barbarian, heroically scales the pitiless slopes of Mount Terror on the worst night in living memory to finish a job that he should have completed twenty years earlier&hellip; and fails spectacularly. Jump forward a thousand years and meet Drin. Half-starved, sarcastic and one hundred per cent self-centred, he&rsquo;s the hero of our story, although he doesn&rsquo;t know it yet and if he did, he wouldn&rsquo;t want the job anyway. His only desire is to survive another day and avoid being nibbled by his cannibalistic village mates in the process. However, life doesn&rsquo;t always go to plan and he finds himself thrust head first into a most unwelcome adventure, involving enchanted forests, savage pygmies and a group of the most dim-witted barbarians ever to grace the page. Accumulating a seriously questionable group of companions along the way, including a urine drinking dwarf, a crazy fairy, a half rabbit half dog (the Rog) and yet another geriatric barbarian, who owns a Farting Phoenix and is a bit too fond of the old &lsquo;fairy dust&rsquo;, they find themselves thrust onto &lsquo;The Quest&rsquo;, a once in a decade spectacle, where they must face Ka, the merciless Dragon Princess in mortal combat. With the keys to the kingdom up for grabs, the only questions are, who&rsquo;s going to kill Drin first and if he does somehow survive, what the heck is he going to do with his life afterwards? From the author of the DATS Trilogy, &lsquo;Drynwideon, The Sword of Destiny &ndash; Yeah Right&rsquo; is quite possibly the world&rsquo;s first anti-fantasy novel and one to tell the grandchildren about, even if it is to warn them away from it!</p>",
