Standard Hero Behavior

Standard Hero Behavior
by John David Anderson



The town of Highsmith was once filled with heroes competing to wipe out the local goblin population, seek treasure, and go off on adventures. But now, the town has only one hero - Duke Darlinger, who has named the town "Darlington" after himself. Mason, a poor freelance bard-poet finds out a dreadful secret when he applies for work at Duke Darlinger's house. The town is in GRAVE DANGER. Armed with a borrowed sword, his best friend, Cowel, and a copy of Quayle's Guide to Adventure for the Unadventurous, the pair sets off on a desperate quest to find heroes to save their town.

A book which, as you read, encourages smiles and sometimes outright laughter.
