5 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
JERICO DOVE: HERO EXTRAORDINAIRE In an age where real men eat quiche, Jerico Dove stands out like the proverbial odd duck. A man of wealth and experience who longs to fight the good fight and preserve justice, truth, and the American lifestyle, Jerico finds himself unwanted, ridiculed, and abused in a society that finds such virtues laughable. Jerico resolves to end his crime-fighting daysthat is, until he is kidnapped on top of an elephant and spirited off into the wilds of New Jersey, of all places. Jerico's captors present him with an out-of-this-world opportunity literally. Dove is given his heart's desire: to go to the limits of his powers to help save a wondrous land from certain destructionto be the man to save the day. And all he's got to do is recover the Seven Holy Spears of the W'dch'ck, defeat an infinite array of the most malicious evils the world has ever seen, and stop the malevolent madman who's behind it all. A caped crusader's work is never done. (originally published as written by Lionel Fenn)

I had a tie for the month of February, the tagged novel and How High We Go In The Dark. I chose The Seven Spears because it was fun and I'd read it again.

@RamsFan1963 you influenced me to order the only copy of this Thriftbooks had. 🤣 I‘m currently reading some Terry Pratchett so I think this will be right up my alley.

18/150 My first 5⭐ read of 2022!! I simply adored this wonderful comic fantasy, laughing out loud at the clever word play and puns. If you like Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, then I think this is the book for you. Only bad thing, this was written in 1988, and as far as I know, Lionel Fenn (aka Charles L. Grant) has never written a sequel.

When Jerico Dove bumped into the elephant, fell sideways into the gutter, and a mere second or two later was nearly shredded by the bristles of a street-cleaning truck, he knew instinctively that things weren't going to get any better anytime soon.

KathyWheeler Well that line just drew me in. I hope the rest of the book is as great as that opening! 3y
Soubhiville Yeah that first line caught me too! 3y
RamsFan1963 @KathyWheeler @Soubhiville I'm about 120 pages in so far and it's been really good. Reminds me of a cross between Jasper Fforde and Terry Pratchett. 3y
Christyco125 Wow-now, that‘s a line. 3y

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
