And Don't Forget to Rescue the Other Princess

Al Breen returns to the Kingdom of Flemp for a thin but boisterous second adventure (after 2005's Don't Forget to Rescue the Princess). This time, unemployed actor Al is waiting for his big break in Connecticut when master wizard Merv appears in the form of a Persian cat and whisks Al to the Kingdom of Flemp. Al is tasked with saving the fair Princess Deidre from Sorchaaaaaaaa, a sorceress who threatens the entire world with her cruelty. Along the way, Al and his pal Sir Nigel the Nervous battle all sorts of bad guys, from holographic soldiers to huge slimy worms. Bilgrey keeps the pace moving quickly through this brief romp of a humorous fantasy novel, and stuffs each page with one-liners and danger. Those looking for depth of character and intricate plotting, however, should steer clear.
