Exciting New Fantasy Adventure
Randolph's Challenge - an entertaining new fantasy novel by Chris E. Warren, is now available at www.amazon.com and from the publishers

Chris E. Warren brings you an entertaining and often hilarious fantasy adventure delivering a story full of warm wit reminiscent of Terry Pratchett and a fantasy saga of Tolkien proportions.

Randolph Kettle, a loveable and talented minstrel, learns that his 'lucky breaks' stem from special powers he is only beginning to discover.

A rather laid-back young man before Destiny intervenes, Randolph is a reluctant hero on a perilous quest. The fate of the Kingdom of Alusia and the entire Western Realm hangs in the balance as Randolph journeys through magical and mysterious worlds in a bid to overthrow the joint evils of Thrung and Shawadarg. On his way, Randolph discovers that his extraordinary powers bring extraordinary responsibilities and he is forced to wrestle with his own emotions and conscience as he faces each fresh challenge.
