Only Giants Live Forever (Unless You Kill Them) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425974640)

Bugbears, gorgons, trolls, undead.what I wouldn't give for a lousy day at the office handling irate customers. Instead, I got stuck in this lousy magical world, and no one seems to know why I'm here or how to return. And who do I get to guide me on my journey? A powerful wizard who commands the elements? An archer who fires arrows like a machine gun? A swordsman who can cleave the heads of five men with one blow? No, I get a sassy goblin, a witch who spits magical phlegm, and some talking rats. And no one has any toilet paper. The only reason I'm still alive is that I'm the only one around here with any sense. Who am I? I am the giant. All six feet of me. OGLF follows the adventures of the "giant", a man from the post-modern world who finds himself under dubious circumstances in a pre-medieval milieu and is cast into events beyond his control as he tries desperately to find his way home. A fresh take on an old theme, the book mixes a congruous blend of comedy and epic fantasy that can appeal to fans of both genres. The story contains fantasy elements familiar and new woven into a richly detailed world of city-states and empires, savages and noble nomads, bawdy mining towns and verdant villages. This book is recommended for young adult and up.
