‘Brilliantly funny.’ – DAILY MAIL

‘Witty and eccentric… dazzling, neat, frivolous.’ – TIME OUT


The last Norse king of Caithness, Hrolf Earthstar and his 12 champions are woken from a centuries-long sleep when an archaeologist finds their grave. He decides to carry on his ancient war against the Sourcerer-King, and must face such perils as BBC film crews and the Bakerloo line along the way.

From one of the best-loved comic writers in fantasy fiction comes another absurdly witty title – perfect for fans of Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett

Reviews

always inventively funny.
SFX
Frantically wacky and wilfully confusing . . . gratifyingly clever and very amusing
MAIL ON SUNDAY
Tom Holt stands out on his own . . . If you haven't read any, go out and buy one. But don't blame me for any laughter-induced injuries
VECTOR
wisecracking dialogue.
