The Shazam Brothers are performers, jugglers, illusionists and con artists. They are also gnomes, part of the tribe that lives on the Little East End of Isenstock. When they accidentally steal the most powerful artifact of the city, the Quigley Dagger, they risk unleashing the greatest evil known.
"Dragon Ash" is a satirical fantasy that blends sword and sorcery with screwball comedy, Tolkien as performed by the Marx Brothers. In the tradition of Fritz Leiber, Robert Aspirin and every "Abbott and Costello Meets" movie, this book combines high action, low comedy and a salty attitude for those looking for something completely different.

Where has this book been hiding?! I loved Dragon Ash. It's very different from Charlie Brown's adult PI/detective themes. The author did well narrating his works and I enjoy them.
