Impossible Quests The Reluctant Barbarian, Book 1, (Paperback)

<p><strong>He didn't want a quest. He wanted a nap. </strong></p><p></p><p>Arthur Jenkins was perfectly content with his quiet, unremarkable life. He had no desire for glory, no interest in destiny, and a very firm policy against physical exertion. But when an angel crashes into his office with a divine mandate, Arthur's dreams of a peaceful retirement vanish. </p><p></p><p>Forced into the role of a hero in a world determined to kill him, Arthur must navigate a landscape of bizarre monsters, incompetent allies, and ancient prophecies that really should have picked someone else. From sharp wit to the sprawling scale of a classic adventure, this is fantasy for anyone who has ever looked at a "Chosen One" and thought: Better them than me.</p><p></p><p>Written by 2019 <strong>Writers of the Future</strong> winner John T. Haas, The Reluctant Barbarian is the first book in the <strong>Impossible Quests</strong> trilogy. This revised second edition from <strong>Black Lantern Press</strong> brings a fresh feel to the hilarious story of a man trying to survive a destiny he never asked for. With over thirty published short stories and seven novels to his name, Haas delivers a polished, satirical subversion of epic fantasy tropes that fans of the genre will adore.</p>
