Welcome to the Hyperbolic Age, a prehistoric era when men were mighty, women were buxom, and neither could be trusted in the dark. Into this melodramatic yet somehow lost epoch strides a mighty figure, a king cursed to never again remember his homeland who wanders the thousand and one kingdoms in search of what he's lost. His name is Vengar, and he's a barbarian.

Shudder with terror as our hulking hero faces unearthly creatures from the furthest reaches of possibility. Thrill as he seduces luscious ladies and wages war against vile sorcerers, and shake your head in dismay as he makes far too many decisions with that certain part of the male anatomy.

In this episode...

When Vengar comes to the sandstone city of Tensara, a mysterious maiden begs him to rescue her sister from a wicked sorcerer. He accepts the mission but it quickly turns into more than he bargained for, leaving him tangled up in a dastardly plot to start a civil war. Can Vengar prevent the coming war? Will he bed the maiden? What's the deal with the ridiculously big sword, anyway?

At roughly 30 pages, The King, His Son, Their Sorcerer and His Lover is a ton of fun in a bite-size package. "The perfect afternoon read," says the author's mother, and we think you'll agree.

Vengar the Barbarian! The mighty strange adventures of a strangely mighty man!

5,0 su 5 stelle Truly entertaining!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 30 giugno 2010

There are times when you stumble over something more or less by accident, and it turns into a very pleasant surprise. To me, this short story is one of those things. It's funnny! Not laugh out loud funny, but absolutely tug at the mouth amusing.

Vengar the barbarian is a mighty warrior from a lost civilization, equipped with a ham sized heart, enormous muscles, and an equally mighty sword. The sword is very, very large, so large in fact that it defies reason. When his journeys take him to the city of Tensara, his feet carries him to a bar and he is soon approached by a maiden in distress. Or, well, she's mostly curvy, but she claims that her sister is in distress. No hero with self respect could turn a challenge like that down, right?

Reading this story gave me a feeling similar to the first time I read the Hitch-hiker's guide to the Galaxy. It's a feeling of being entertained and happy, and nowadays it doesn't present itself all that often. For far too long, I've been in a mental state of "Been there, done that, seen it," but this story is refreshing and new. It makes me wonder what else I've been missing. I want more!

4,0 su 5 stelle An Affectionate Parody
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 6 dicembre 2015

The only thing edgy in this story is Vengar's gigantic sword. He's a barbarian with amnesia, (as a consequence of a violent encounter with a witch), and appears to be doomed to wander through the entire Age of Hyperbole in search of his lost destiny. With sinewy muscles, lightning reflexes, a mighty heart, (as big as two hams!), and keen senses, Vengar travels from one adventure to another, with no Sword & Sorcery cliche overlooked.

The stories are fun, cleverly crafted, nicely paced and good natured. The author displays a clear affection for and understanding of the genre, and falls quite comfortably into the I-kid-because-I-love category. Vengar is a hero you can relate to, and his adventures will remind you about everything you loved about this stuff before it got violent, explicit, overly plotted, and weighed down with excessive world building.

The story is never precious or cutesy, and the upbeat tone is consistent. This isn't silly or immature - the writing is assured and apt. It isn't simple or goofy because the author doesn't know what he's doing; it's what it is because the author knows exactly what he's doing. and, he knows when to kid around and when to actually move the story along. That kind of parody is hard to pull off, and if you like that sort of thing this is a very happy find.

(Please note that I found this book a while ago while browsing Amazon Kindle freebies. I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

An amusing, knowing romp through the clichés of the barbarian adventure genre. Everything you'd expect is there, including the incredibly large enchanted sword, making for quick fun read.

5,0 su 5 stelle A funny take on a workhorse fantasy trope.
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 2 aprile 2012

Chris Randolph really knows his Conan, and although this short story is a humorous pastiche taking a poke at the "fantasy barbarian with the enormous sword" cliche, it is clear Chris means no (real) disrespect. Reading this story, you're reminded of all the countless times, both in the "original source material" (i.e., Howard & Co.) as well in later pastiche works, that the strong but naive protagonist falls for the machinations of an alluring maiden or delightful strumpet, only to discover that, well, all isn't as it originally seemed...

This first entry in the Venger series is well worth the price of admission, and I hope you give it a read. I also hope that when Chris finishes his current projects, he'll write a third installment of the series, because this is the sort of light, actiony comedy that always offers a laugh when done right.

3,0 su 5 stelle Entertaining Little Story.
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 30 aprile 2016

Although it was only 27 pages (yes, 27 pages), I found myself getting interested in this Barbarian with Amnesia. It's too bad it was so short, because I needed more background to get sufficiently involved.

It was descriptive, in an Epic Fantasy sort of way. A little old fashioned, but it worked.

I doubt that I'll continue these "Episodes", but this was an OK and quick read for me.
