New Century: The Princess Thieves

by Alexander Shaw

supported by

Justaris This fifth volume of New Century, like the third, takes place in a new setting with different characters from those we have followed to date.

This story is more of a fantasy adventure tale, with strong comedic and meta elements reminiscent of The Princess Bride (given the title, surely not a coincidence).

As with The Princess Bride, the humor is never at the expense of the emotional heart of the story and it delivers a satisfying conclusion.

Have fun storming the castle! Favorite track: Outlaws and Awakening.

about

NEW CENTURY: BOOK 5

A swashbuckling comedy fantasy adventure from the creator of Tiger's Eye and Arlington.

In 1873 an enormous doorway between realms opened up in the north of London and on the other side was a parallel British Isles named Britannica.

This place was home to two new races, the short, stubborn, Duart and the hulking, green-skinned Akka. What they brought with them when they stepped through to aid us and settle in our damaged country was an army of tough firecasters to see off our monster problem and a class system that humans fit roughly in the middle of.

In the week this story takes place, Gwendoline, the last remaining family member of Britain’s royal Saxe-Coburg bloodline is preparing to be married to the Duart lord; Aaron of Britannica.

Before that happens the young princess will be going on the adventure of a lifetime, through the dangerous, filthy streets of London, through the doorway between worlds and beyond.

Part of the New Century Multiverse, a saga set across many worlds with each story constituting a piece of the grand mosaic.

The first six stories in New Century Phase 1 can be listened to in any order...

I find it difficult to choose ONE favourite from this, but the end of Trip to Vegas always makes me crack up laughing. Even though I've never played Fallout: New Vegas, the exasperated "Not again" is so applicable to other games...or anything that involves computers being idiots. aceade
