A Jackal And His Lawyer - Book 4
Saving the world is a job which, it seems, is never done. Defeating demons, aliens, rampaging giant robots and evil cabals merely clears the playing field for new opponents to emerge.
Such is the fate of Kort the crow, Luke the cat and Jexxen the golem, still weary from their previous victories. No sooner has peace and security been restored than it is once again under threat. A race of warlike beings - the troll-like Urks - inhabit an island that lies on the far side of a vast ocean north of the known lands of Francisco's talking animals. That great distance kept everyone else safe from the grey-skinned barbarian Urks, until this monstrous race discovered a wormhole leading to the known territories.
As endless hordes of Urks pour through this portal, so the animal nations fall one by one. Even using a nuclear bomb against the invaders only succeeds in creating mutated versions even more monstrous and formidable than the original species. All, it seems, is lost...
Jexxen the golem has a solution, a chemical weapon that he believes will slay their foes upon contact. With the aid of this - and various magical and technological artefacts that must be acquired, at no small risk - our heroes plan to journey towards the wormhole and seal it.
The saga continues, taking in many bizarre characters and surprising twists along the way. There's even a zombie rabbit in the mix...
Saving the world - YET AGAIN - is a many-splendoured thing...
