Death and the Dragon - Paperback

by David Hankins (Author)

Sequel to the award-winning IAN Humor Book of the Year Death and the Taxman.

Death and the Dragon is the wild ride through Hell that Dante wished he'd had. Demons, nightmares, and bureaucrats await the Grim Reaper as he scrambles to stop a coup in Hell, forestall Armageddon, and rescue the Devil himself.

After Lucifer played fast and loose with the Rules governing soul management-after he stole Abigail's soul without Judgment-Grim storms into Hell to have words with the Lord of Lies. But one does not just waltz in demanding to speak with the Dragon. There are receptionists to battle, forms to complete, and minotaurs to charm.

Oh, and a coup by Nigel the Demigod to stop.

But what happens when Hell's new leadership starts pulling the living into Hell before their time? When they bypass Death and threaten premature Armageddon? For Grim, there is no greater sin, and he will tear Hell apart to set things right, even if it costs his soul.

Death is coming, and Hell will never be the same.

Written in the lighthearted styles of Sir Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, Death and the Dragon is a humorous contemporary fantasy about friendship, family, and fighting against all odds for what's right. Death and the Dragon is the sequel to Death and the Taxman, which readers and critics alike called "wildly fun," "laugh-out-loud funny," and "absolutely hilarious!"
