Spellsinger #1
“Among sentient animals and humans, hard-headed and hard-shelled wizard Clothahump searches across dimensions for a wizard to defeat looming armies of Plated Folk. Jonathan-Thomas Meriweather, part-time wannabe rock guitarist and janitor, makes magic to his well-worn rock repertoire on his duar instrument. While lyrics may be righteous, the magic is too often something else.”
From Goodreads
Nothing original, but a Marxist dragon is a brilliant idea.
An old favorite, and still quite nice. Addresses various isms fairly well, while also somewhat playing into them. Nifty work nevertheless.
