This wildly imaginative book is one of my favourite Robert Rankin books. It features a believable hero - who is not that heroic, and a journey that is difficult - but really very silly. This is a great example of Rankin-style genius that will have you laughing out loud and reading chapter after chapter without putting the book down because you want to read more! (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385405154, Hardcover)

It was something to do with the cycles of history, the way great civilizations rise and fall. Few people noticed the changes at first, and by the time everyone realized, it was too late. Earth had left behind the age of science and reason and moved into a time of myth, legend, wizardry, and heroes.
