But his plans are interrupted by a talking cat who zaps him into a medieval world where Al is mistaken for a brave warrior (hey, it could happen to anyone). Al is then forced by a king to undertake a dangerous quest to rescue a beautiful princess. (Why don&#8217;t beautiful princesses have better security?) Al and his new partner, Nigel, an inexperienced knight, must battle a whole host of horrifying creatures, including evil trolls, a monstrous dragon, and other scary things too numerous to mention. So jump into your boots, strap on your sword, and join our heroes as they journey to a nail-biting, sweat-provoking, edge-of-your-seat, fast-paced climactic conclusion you&#8217;ll never forget.

In this long-awaited book (especially by the people the author owes money to), unemployed actor, Al Breen, is once again zapped by a wizard into a medieval world where he is then forced, by a King, to undergo a new, dangerous quest to rescue yet another beautiful princess. (Nobody seems to guard these princesses at all!)<\/p>\n<p class=\"synopsisBody\">Reunited with Nigel the Nervous Knight, Al must confront a whole different set of lifethreatening adversaries, including a deadly ogre, creepy fairies, a nasty giant, and a group of hungry goblins, who want to eat them for dinner (a la carte).<\/p>\n<p class=\"synopsisBody\">But wait, there\u2019s more! There\u2019s also the frightening trek up a snow-covered mountain to the evil sorceress\u2019 fortress, and then\u2014well, we can\u2019t tell you everything! But trust us, it\u2019s all exciting, thrill-packed, and\u2014hey, did we mention that Merv the Wizard is in it again (though not very much)? And the talking sword is back too! (Please hold your applause till the end!)<\/p>\n<p class=\"synopsisBody\">This book has it all: action, excitement, suspense and an inflated sense of self-importance! So put on your chainmail, sword and cape (well, the cape is optional), and join our heroes on a one-of-a-kind adventure that\u2019s sure to dazzle, divert, distract and delight you. (Hey, I get paid by the word!) This book is destined to be a classic (even though there&#8217;s no white whale in it) and will make a splendid addition to your home library.
