Riassunto

IT IS THE YEAR 2010. NO, REALLY.

Her Divine Majesty Queen Elizabeth XXX sits upon the throne. Great Britain's vast Empire is run by Alchemy and Superstition.

Sir Rupert Triumff. Adventurer. Fighter. Drinker. Saviour? Pratchett goes swashbuckling in the hotly anticipated original fiction debut of the multi-million selling Warhammer star. Triumff is a ribald historical fantasy set in a warped clockwork-powered version of our present day ! a new Elizabethan age, not of Elizabeth II but in the style of the original Virgin Queen. Throughout its rollicking pages, Sir Rupert Triumff drinks, dines and duels his way into a new Brass Age of Exploration and Adventure.

Recensione:

'Triumff contains the three things I love most in fantasy: awesome magic, thrilling adventure, a truly original world - and some really dreadful puns.' --Trudi Canavan, author of The Black Magician Trilogy

'Triumff: Her Majesty's Hero is a witch s brew of alternate history, hocus pocus, cracking action and cheesy gags. Reads like Blackadder crossed with Neal Stephenson. It's a Kind of Magick don't miss it.' --Stephen Baxter, author of the Long Earth series with Terry Pratchett

'Endlessly inventive, joyously irreverent, drenched with adrenalin and wicked humour, Dan Abnett's Triumff: Her Majesty's Hero is a brilliant occult-comedy-historical-adventure that s true to the best traditions of the genres it so eagerly devours.' --Mike Carey, author of The Girl With All The Gifts
