About this ebook

It's crunch time in the Old Kingdom!

Our mild-mannered hero, the junky old robot, has a new ally. He's sure they've met before, but he can't quite put his finger on it.

Actually, he can't quite put his finger on anything.

Heads of state are dropping like flies, thanks to a series of improbable accidents, and war clouds are rolling in.

The elves are building siege engines, human kingdoms are raising their armies, and the dwarves are nursing hangovers.

And even if the robot manages to pour lubricating oil on those troubled waters, he still has to find his way home!

This is the third and final part of the Dragon and Chips Trilogy. Books one and two must be read first to maximise your enjoyment.

All three books are also available in unabridged audio editions.

Keywords: Humorous fantasy novel, book three in a trilogy, fantasy comedy book, fantasy humour, clean fantasy novels, young adult fantasy, ya comedy, parody novel, fantasy comedy novels

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely nuts in the best way possible

Tons of Fun and Surprises!

What a blast! Reminiscent of Terry Gilliam and Monty Python. A must read!

About the author

Simon Haynes lives in Western Australia, where he divides his time between herding deadly spiders, dodging drop bears, and making up wildly inaccurate sentences like this one.

By day he's an author. By night he's also an author.

He loves wry, dry humour, and his hobbies include daringly inserting the letter U into words where -- in some parts of the world at least -- this simply isn't the done thing.

As for his genre-spanning novels, they include epic fantasy (with robots), scifi comedy (also with robots), middle grade humour (featuring robots AND the wanton use of the letter U), as well as a series of historical mystery novels set in 1870's London. (No, of course there aren't robots in those. He's not completely out of his mind.)

When he's not writing Simon is usually renovating his house, sim-racing online, using twitter (@spacejock), gardening, tweaking his book covers, pondering the meaning of the universe and reading, and if you think it's easy doing all that at the same time you should see what he can do with a mug of coffee, a banana and a large bag of salt.

When he's not making outlandish claims he likes to count how many novels he's written, and how many genres he's written them in. (Lots and too many.)
