They make bombs. They start fights. They look amazing doing both.
I was having the perfect day when I suddenly found myself on the wrong side of an interdimensional portal. Instead of a weekend in wine country, I wound up in a trailer park that seemed stuck in the 1980s and filled with... goblin women?
By the way, since when are goblins real? And why are the women so hot?
I didn't have much time to think about it, though. As soon as I arrived, someone thrust a magical tablet into my hands and told me I had to get to work right away to get this place in order. Apparently, there was a war going on somewhere in the universe, and my task was to rally the goblin women and give them purpose; to get them to work together instead of fighting each other. And more importantly, to get them to start building weapons to sell so we could make enough money to fix up this dump.
And so I, just a guy from Rochester, found myself designing high explosives and trying to figure out why Bobbi Jo and Brandi Lynn were fighting... again.
I have read the other trailer park series and while TPE has its ups and downs, for the most part it’s a good series. The bikini vampires had a lot of plot holes, but was acceptable. This book is just bad, like flaming diarrhea bad.
The MC gets isekaied, ok, but he doesn’t even react, just kinda “oh I’m in another world, ok guess I’ll jump right to it”! He meets the other residents, who are every cliche of trash you’ve ever heard of, and is just instantly smitten. Guy is a corporate gym rat, his whole life, but suddenly he’s perfectly happy in a fantasy trailer park.
Also it is painfully obvious the author has never driven a manual transmission, their “grinder” setup has him repeatedly throwing the transmission in 4th gear and letting it idle for “more speed”! That’s not how it works!! If you put a manual in 4th gear straight from stop the engine will stall and die, possibly damaging the transmission! If you’re not maintaining enough speed for a specific gear, then the engine can’t stay running, that’s why downshifting to slow down is called engine braking on a manual! It is a massive pet peeve of mine when people include things like that and obviously have no freaking clue how it works.
Overall this is by far the absolute worst of the Trailer Park type books for this universe.
Piles of fun. Utterly silly. While not *exactly* derivative of Trailer Park Elves, it is sort of a companion series.
The MC winds up in a Fae protected zone trailer park and is tasked with being an explosives expert to train the goblin girls in designing and creating munitions. And, sure, the goblin girls are quite functional at this.
Also nubile and willing.
So, yeah. Some plot, a lot of sex, and many explosions in the distance.
Great job by a master story teller, it takes one to seamlessly take up another authors universe (with the blessings of the creator) and craft a seamless side story. I look forward to further installments.
The adaptability of the main character is to be commented, switching gears from one world/life to another. Interesting to see another part of the universe where the trailer elves are located.
