The book opens with the trio of companions enslaved and working in a quarry. Managing to escape more by luck than judgement, they then come across danger in the desert.
Meeting a tribe of nomadic goblins, they discover that their fame has spread far and wide due to their exploits prior to becoming slaves. 'Oddy' then tells the nomads the tale of how they became lost in the wilderness and finally ended up in shackles, a tale that includes encounters with a Cyclops, a trio of tutu-wearing Sirens and a sea monster with a surprising phobia, amongst others.
A highly entertaining read that is very loosely based on Homer's epic poem The Odyssey. This is a hilarious short novel with many great comedy moments.
Ed Page is the author of numerous books, including Brain the Vampire, Lukewarm Bathwater or Apocalypse? and Greetings from the Edge of Nowhere.
