Dragon and Chips Omnibus One
About this ebook
"An insane, inspired blend of high fantasy and low humour"
Here's what you get!
A Portion of Dragon and Chips
A mild-mannered old robot has just been transported to a medieval kingdom, and things are quickly going from bad to worse.
A homicidal knight is after his blood... or the robot equivalent.
A greedy queen wants to bend him to her will.
A conniving Master of Spies is hatching his own devious plan for the mechanical marvel.
And worst of all, there's nowhere to get a recharge.
A Butt of Heads
Remember that mild-mannered robot trapped in a medieval kingdom?
He's still there, and he has a load of new problems to deal with.
First, he must lead a motley crew of adventurers on a quest to capture a baby dragon...
... and save them from the incensed parent dragons.
Next, the City Guard is hunting him down, determined to drag him back to their master, a man desperate to find out what makes the robot tick... even if it means disassembly with a blunt axe.
And, to cap it all off, two foreign nations are planning an invasion, five kingdoms are on the brink of war, and gigantic sea serpents, vengeful dragons and a drunken cadre of dwarves are determined to make life difficult for everyone.
A Pair of Nuts on the Throne
It's crunch time for the medieval 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.
Enjoy the laughs, chaos and misadventures in the third and final part of the Dragon and Chips trilogy.
Ratings and reviews
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.)
