Riassunto

Digger is the story of a shrewd, sensible wombat engineer who finds herself stranded in a fantasy world that is far from sensible. Thrust into the middle of a puzzling and often perilous situation involving gods, demons, destiny and redemption, she finds her way based on a pragmatic honesty and the sincere belief in doing the right thing. Her only wish is to return home, but along the way she makes enemies into friends, friends into heroes, the weak into warriors, and monsters into ...better monsters.

Digger is a serious fantasy tale that manages to be both meaningful and light-hearted. It explores complex themes of honor, responsibility, and the gray areas between right and wrong, but it does so with a frequent application of humor, wit and absurdity that keeps the story lively. It is an adventure story that can be fully enjoyed by young adult readers, but it also has levels of complexity in its humor and themes that become deeper and more meaningful with age and experience.

Originally created and released as a web comic, Digger ran for eight years and collected widespread acclaim for both its unique woodcut-inspired art style and depth of story.

Volume Three contains chapters five and six of the twelve-chapter story. Our wombat heroine is driven from the protective care of the local healer by the persistent efforts of Captain Jhalm. Back in the strange world outside the temple, Digger encounters friends new and old, and confronts the age-old question of the nature of good and evil. Seemingly simple answers lead to complicated consequences, foes turn into allies, and Digger must continue to sort out who she can trust in her quest to find her way back home.
