'...hugely inventive and highly amusing ...His sharply observed dialogue and the desire to think round corners and u-bends distinguish Holt's books. He has the ability to make the reader laugh out loud and should be treasured.' - COMPUTERCROWSNEST

'A definite must for all fans of comic fantasy' - ENIGMA

Starting a new job is always stressful (especially when you don't particularly want one), but when Paul Carpenter arrives at the office of J. W. Wells he has no idea what trouble lies in store. Because he is about to discover that the apparently respectable establishment now paying his salary is in fact a front for a deeply sinister organisation that has a mighty peculiar agenda. It seems that half the time his bosses are away with the fairies. But they're not, of course.

They're away with the goblins.

Mister Tom Holt, Master of the Comic Fantasy Novel, cordially invites you to join him in his world of madness by reading his next hilarious masterpiece.

From AudioFile:
Had a bad day at work? Paul Carpenter, a new junior employee at J.W. Wells & Co., is having some for the records. As he sorts through interminable piles of spreadsheets, finds bauxite mines in aerial photos without knowing how he did it, and cleans up a strong room full of bizarre treasures, Paul is trying not to figure out his company's secrets--until goblins seize the girl he loves. Tom Holt sends up the workplace with a style reminiscent of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. Raymond Sawyer sounds serious but stays playful as he reads the whimsical narrative. His Paul sounds a little too laid-back, but the goblins and other strange beings at J.W. Wells are spot-on. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
