The Legend of Jig Dragonslayer

Description

If you think being a big, strong, brave fantasy hero is hard… just try being Jig the Goblin.

Here, together for the first time, are the uproarious, unforgettable adventures of Jig the Goblin—the most unlikely hero you will ever meet. In this collected omnibus of Goblin Quest, Goblin Hero, and Goblin War, readers will follow the epic (if mostly accidental) exploits of Jig: a puny, clumsy, bespectacled runt of a goblin whose intelligence, wit, and unbelievable luck allow him to survive when fate thrusts him into a world much larger—and far more dangerous—than any he ever imagined…”Part farce, part parody, Hines’ rip-roaring narrative has us cheering the highly sympathetic Jig on to victory.” —Booklist

“The characterizations are wonderful. Hines is a phenomenal worldbuilder…not only inventive and funny, his people and his world are convincing. That’s magic of the most powerful king.” —SF Site

“The mixture of heroism and buffoonery put the Goblin series into a fantasy class of its own.” —SF RevuJim C. Hines has been a paid juggler, earned a black belt in two different martial arts, performed yo-yo tricks at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and lived with a brain-damaged squirrel. (Only three of those are true.) One of his earliest stories earned first place in the Writers of the Future contest. He’s published more than forty short stories as well as numerous fantasy novels, including the humorous Jig the Dragonslayer trilogy, the Princess series, which re-imagines traditional fairy-tale princesses as butt-kicking action heroines, and the Magic Ex Libris series, about a centuries-old secret society dedicated to the use and control of book magic. In 2012, he won the Hugo for Best Fan Writer. Jim lives in Michigan with his wife, two children, and an unstable number of pets. He can be found online at www.jimchines.com.US
