Warlocks and Amazons — Jonathan Pidduck

The fourth and almost final book of the "Amazons" humorous fantasy series, by Jonathan Pidduck. The further trials and tribulations of Halfshaft (failed wizard), Rod (successful alcoholic) and Takina (an Amazon even more voluptuous than usual) as they battle their bewildered way through a fresh host of hazards. Having been sent back a thousand years into the past, their mission is to summon Harold, King of the Saxons, to ensure that an all-conquering Warlock is imprisoned inside the Black Mountains as Fate has decreed. Unfortunately, Fate may well have picked the wrong trio for the task. Despite the best efforts of the mini-SHEs and their flame of eternal youth, the tiny giants and their umbrage at anyone taller than themselves, Osiris the rampant dark-elf and an entirely unexpected pregnancy, the three defy the odds and move one step at a time towards their goal of saving the world from Evil. But will the man who awaits them at the Battle of Hastings prove to be one challenge too many? And is the history of two planets about to change forever? Another generous helping of bawdy fantasy fun and frolics from the author of "Slave-Girls and Amazons" and "The Halfshaft Games."
