This book is a parody of the Conan books with much tongue in
cheek humor and amusing action.
Hoptor the Vintner peddles a
unique type of vintage. His
business practices leads to societal connections that cross the entire spectrum
of the Atlantis populace. It also runs
him afoul of the entrenched bureaucracy.
Conax the Chimerical is a barbarian of massive stereotypes. In addition to his mighty thews he is
definitively the least sharp knife in the drawer.
The two main protagonists are joined by a host of unsavory characters
who play a large part in the disappearance of Atlantis. Some of the characters feel blue and are far
from home seeking their own needful grail.
I have read a lot of Jakes and as amusing as this was, I enjoyed his
historic fiction and the Kent
I recommend the book though.
