In this hilarious fantasy satire, an ancient king bears a striking resemblance to a modern-day politician. Never in its history has the kingdom been in such peril from within. King Gorge is a 'Delusional Diabolical Dingbat'. And now he's burning down a valley and a village to build a golf course just for himself. A putt putt course where all the greens are designed to give the crooked cheat a hole in one every time. His trophies have already been made for the golf not yet played on the course not yet made as have the portraits of himself holding the trophies for the golf not yet played on the ...
In this hilarious fantasy satire, an ancient king bears a striking resemblance to a modern-day politician. Never in its history has the kingdom been in such peril from within. King Gorge is a 'Delusional Diabolical Dingbat'. And now he's burning down a valley and a village to build a golf course just for himself. A putt putt course where all the greens are designed to give the crooked cheat a hole in one every time. His trophies have already been made for the golf not yet played on the course not yet made as have the portraits of himself holding the trophies for the golf not yet played on the course not yet made. But, from that valley rides Justice. Tasked to lead an underground rebellion against the King, the nineteen-year-old dairy farmer is prone to self-doubt, hiccups and fainting. When told by The Old Lady, the most formidable freedom fighter in history, she had chosen him for her secret mission, he had but one question "ME?" Now, he'll have to take the job in the hated Royal Court she's arranged. His parents, family and friends believe he is betraying them by going to work for the Malevolent Mutton-Headed Majesty. And he cannot tell them any different. In the Capitol, Justice sees for the first time the slaves known as Cheaps. They toil from sunup to sundown until their day is done when they get to sleep upon dirt floors with empty bellies. Their situation infuriates Justice and he feels new resolve to somehow dethrone this vile King for the Cheaps as much as to save his village and valley. From his new position as Groomer of the Royal Stool, which places him closer to the King than any sane person would ever want to be, Justice tries to suss out the Royal Courtiers around him. Who might be friend? Who might be foe? There is Tailor Swift, the Royal Seamstress, who has a way with words and a way about her that may cloud Justice's judgement, the skulking Hyena (Royal News) who makes up stories fantasy writers could not hope to conjure, Dr. Fill, the Royal Chef and disgraced doctor, Melon Head 693, the King's 693rd Chief of Staff and those workers who built, run and hold the Capitol together, the Cheaps, Lowly-Lows and Ordinaries. As Justice gains confidence, he just might succeed. But when the explosive end comes and he exposes the King to all, will he be able to run fast enough to escape unscathed?
