Leider sind keine anderen humoristischen Fantasy-Romane von Bibby bekannt. Es handelt sich um Parodien auf Conan der Barbar.
Ronan ist gerade mit der Krieger-Schule fertig, mit Dread-Locks auf dem Kopf, und soll nun den Tod seine Vaters rächen. Dazu muß er den Bösewicht Nekros finden. Dabei findet er sich mit einigen anderen Personen zusammen: Tyson, der weibliche Krieger, Tarl, der betrunkene Zauberer, und Puss, der Höllenaffe. Aus der Amazon.co.uk-Beschreibung des Autors: James Bibby's comic fantasies have an almost relentless pace to them--hardly has Shapestone opened but we have been introduced to a dead tomb robber, a ghostly soldier who cannot remember what his mission is, a magic pendant, a stroppy princess and a holy fool of a monk and magic worker. As these converge on the threatened city of Minas Orgun, Bibby adds to the mix some of the denser city guards in fantasy (whom he uses for parody of one of television's more popular detective series), and a variety of jokes about bad pubs, rotten food and clumsy assassins. Bibby's humour is usually good-natured, but never less than extremely broad--he explores a vein of magical slapstick as well as proliferating mildly amusing inventions about bawdy nuns and what orcs eat for breakfast. What makes Shapestone work is the tight and inventive plotting; Bibby manages an elaborate process of multiple bluffs about precisely who the villain is and why so many humans and orcs died in an unnecessary battle. There are touches of genuine insight into motive and Bibby's good guys win because they lead rather more complex inner lives than his villains. --Roz Kaveney |
