About this audiobook
A MAGICAL WORLD. A RELUCTANT HERO. A RAGTAG TEAM.
It's already been a bad day for Richard Parry, and that's before he's shot. After that it just gets worse.
Thrown into a surreal world, he is seen by some as the manifestation of a prophecy and bringer of doom who might need to be soundly terminated. On the positive side, the Ministry of Insecurity think he will be useful on a suicide mission.
Richard and an ill-matched team now venture into the stranger, and more than a bit weirder, parts of this alternate world to discover a traitor intent on derailing the mission and that the ultimate villain is a figure from his own past...
