The Manliest Novel!

Adam Clark · 03-16-2012, 05:42 PM

Ok, a year ago I set out to write the most manly novel ever in response to my friend's poetry (it was all about emotions and feelings and he had this weird thing called grammar in it).

Anyway a year later and I finished what was essentially a stupid joke, and now it's on the kindle as a fully fledged novel!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Amazing-Adve...1837744&sr=8-4

Here's a synopsis type thingy whatsit:

The Amazing Adventure (by Adam Clark)

Jet-packs, Dragons, Barbarians, Dinosaurs, Magic, Space-Ships, Chainsaws and Beards. This epic tale of hilarity, emotion and adventure is the true story of Grigor: The Destructionator!

The five pieces of awesome are objects scattered around the universe that grant the wielder near ultimate power. If the Evil Lord gets them first then the Universe will be thrust into a nightmareish hell, if Grigor gets them first, there's a slim chance he can save everyone. But the pieces already have owners, will Grigor and his rag tag group of comrades (including an immortal legendary pirate and a man with chainsaws for arms) get the pieces first and save the world? Or will the Evil Lord plunge the universe into indomitable darkness forever?

Before Grigor even realises that he's on an amazing adventure he has to face his day job as a Viking Bank Financier. This has it's own challenges, like Evil Zombie Ninjas and even worse, a visit from the Aduit Team.

A hilariously ironic slant on the space opera and fantasy epic style. Un-like anything you will ever read.

How about Amazon.com and/or Smashwords, so that even more people will be able to read your novel?

Yes PLEASE!!! This looks like it'll be awesome! I can read it while watching Ax Men and hold my Nook in one hand while battling a Grizzly Bear with another! LOL.
