It's... Kind... of Magic (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | M J Jackman | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

An infinite universe yields infinite possibilities, and not all realities are as laborious as the one we find ourselves trapped. In another set of dimensions, a world analogous to our own grinds the wheel of monotonous life, but to a different beat. In this parallel land, elves, dwarves, goblins, and halflings live just like you do, in mind-numbing tedium, desperate to make it though the working week and blow their wages on drugs, fags, and booze. Just like you.

Just...like... you...

Once upon a time, magic thrived in this wondrous world, a land of witches, warlocks, and wizards. Magic, in harmony with Mother Nature, powered the land, but magic has fallen out of fashion, shunned in favour of WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and instantly downloadable hardcore German megaporn in ultra-high definition. But technology comes at a price. With the inexorable march of progress, the world reaches breaking point. The icecaps melt, the forests disappear, and reality TV dominates. The end of the world is near and a hero is needed... Dan Smith, a nerd of the highest order, isn't convinced he's the Chosen One, nor is anyone else except one man, the mighty Gambledolf. The ancient wizard assembles a merry bunch of adventurers: an elf from the trees, a dwarf from the hills, and a centaur from a field to accompany Dan on a mighty quest. They adventure to the North to retrieve the Last Sword of the Fairy King, a catalyst of magic that can reverse global warming and save the world. All that stands in their way are the forces of evil, for there's likely a dark lord involved.

There usually is.
