Description
A factory worker is kidnapped to help an elf reforge a broken spear, in this trilogy opener by the bestselling author of the Legend of Drizzt series.Gary Leger is desperate for adventure. Daydreaming is all that keeps him from going nuts while working a dead-end job in a plastics factory. The next best thing is burying himself in a good fantasy novel, and he spends much of his free time reading in the woods behind his house. Thatโs when adventure finds him. Or rather, thatโs when heโs hit with a tranquilizer arrow . . .
When Gary comes to, heโs still in the woodsโbut in a world inhabited by creatures from his favorite novels, like a pixie and a leprechaun. Thereโs also an elf on a dangerous life-quest who requires Garyโs assistance. As soon as Gary finishes helping him, he can go home. He simply needs to complete the task . . . while surviving encounters with trolls, an ice-hag, a dragon, and a sorceress bent on stopping them at all costs.
This first novel in the Spearwielderโs Tale trilogy is a great choice for fans of Alan Dean Fosterโs Spellsinger books and Terry Brooksโs Shannara series.
Praise for The Woods Out Back
โWritten as a light-hearted adventure, the book works because the reader sees the world of Faerie through Garyโs eyes and Faerie is just as new to him as it is to the reader. . . . The bookโs fast-paced, good-humored nature draws the reader in and makes the world of Faerie a fine place to visitโgood thing there are two more installments!โ โSF Site ISBN:9781504080583
