Rotten Company (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781910779866)

Join the Rotten Company. Meet exciting, exotic people, then punch them in the face!

All his life, Jack Somewhat has desperately not wanted to be a hero. He may be the worst apprentice the Alchemists Guild has ever known, but the last thing he wants to have to worry about is dungeons, treasure, monsters and damsels in distress.

In fact, he'd rather have a sneaky pint or twelve with his no-good mates than save the day, and in a city full of magic, mystery and villainy, there are plenty of pubs where they'll still let him in the front door. Being thrown out the back door is a problem for when he's no longer sober...

Unfortunately, destiny is not the kind of thing that asks permission. When an accident gives you super strength, shiny white teeth, and the unnatural urge to give speeches about justice, you could find yourself flying in tights and a cape, whether you like it or not.



Jack is about to discover that there is more than one kind of hero, and being the wrong kind can land you in rotten company!
