Beowulf is Back

About this ebook
Beowulf is back, and in deep trouble. Not only are his usual enemies still seeking revenge for the unpleasantness surrounding the destruction of the Biggest Beer Hall Ever Built; now the Pope wants him dead as well. This entangles Beowulf in the complexities and dangers of Holy Gambling and the French Succession crisis (A clear case of too many Louis spoiling the plot!). Without even trying, Beowulf finds himself working for (and against) the French Army, The Church, The Pope, The Britons and the Evil Duke of Jutland (who may just be his Father.) Someone is going to end up King, but which of the Louis, will it be, and how will our hero without a moral compass decide?
Throw in a deadly assassin, a mysterious messenger, high stakes poker, spit roasted chicken, a perilous chase in ‘fast’ donkey carts, true love and a philosophical approach to imminent dismemberment and you are ready for the next instalment!
Will Shand
Will Shand was born sometime in the last century and has pottered around doing a number of jobs since that happy event. Most of these have been in some way connected with education. Having written such classics as 'A Pay Structure for Teaching Assistants' and 'Attendance Policy Update' he decided to try and write something more fun; and so he wrote, 'Not Quite Beowulf' a novel that set out to explore some of the political and ethical philosophy underlying the old tale, but really was just a bit of an excuse for a rather twisted adventure story. He enjoyed this so much that he immediately started a sequel that promises to be every bit as foolish as the first book. When not writing or working (surely writing isn’t working?) he likes to run, read and watch films. He is lucky enough to have a terrific family and live in Worthing, which as all men know is the true earthly paradise.
