<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Denying his historic destiny and doing his best to be ignoble and unheroic, the charming and devious anti-hero Apropos nonetheless finds himself defending an entire town against certain doom--even if his definition of saving the town seems more like burning it to the ground.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The return of Sir Apropos of Nothing!<P>"This sequel to the wildly successful Sir Apropos of Nothing starts off with a bawdy send-up of Lord of the Rings, but quickly segues into its own territory with the appearance of a mysterious Visionary at Apropos's bar, Bugger Hall. The man tells our antihero, 'You will become a shadow of your former self while escaping to the Tragic Waste on the Road to Ruin, ' (or is that 'Woad to Wuin'?), just as Sharee, Apropos's weaver companion from the first volume, bursts in and begs for his help in escaping Lord Beliquose. The very loud lord wants a powerful gem, the Eye of the Beholder, which the virtually powerless Sharee possesses and which Apropos promptly steals....The wisecracking wordplay that fans have come to expect skips smoothly off the page, lifting this satirical fantasy into a class all its own...goofy entertainment with gritty philosophical musing.<P> -- "Publishers Weekly" (Starred Review)<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Peter David mixes ghastliness and giggles deftly and with the near absence of lapsed taste that continues to distinguish the Sir Apropos saga as a major feat of contemporary humorous fantasy." -- Roland Green, <em>Booklist</em></p><br>
