‘Two simple minded, happy-go-lucky buddies suddenly find themselves in trouble when they are attacked by a 3000-year old fireball-belching monster whom nothing seems to be able to defeat.

He has started created a world of his own, a world in which only HE can rule with full authority. But will he be able to finish what he’s started? More importantly, will he be able to taste success in his new venture?

Jan Review:

This book is way different then anything i normal read.  It was a bit off putting with the amount of raw language that was used but it did not stop from reading the book though their were a few times i almost gave up on the story.   The format read a bit like a play so it took me a while to get used to that kind of formating.

One minute you are reading along and then it’s like…what? What?! When did that happen, did I skip several chapters or something? You didn’t though, and in the next scene you realize the truth. He daydreams. So now, you are wondering what is real and what is illusion?  So it took me a bit to work that out once i did the story seemed to flow along rather nicely.  This is definatley not a story for everyone but i do think once you start and really give the story a chance you find that this is a masterful work of art.
