In a world full to bursting with would-be heroes, Jim couldn’t be less thinking about saving the day. His fireballs fizzle. He’s awfully grumpy. Plus, he’s been useless for about sixty years. When a renegade necromancer wrenches him from eternal slumber and right into a world eliminated terribly, bizarrely incorrect, all Jim wants is to find a method to die properly, forever.

On his side, he’s got a few shambling corpses, an inept thief, and a powerful death wish. But he’s against challenging odds: irritated mobs of adventurers, a body dropping apart on the seams and a group of programmers race a deadline to hammer out the previous few bugs in their AI.

Mogworld is a comic fantasy novel in the tradition of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett, and may be the debut book from video-game icon Yahtzee Croshaw (No Punctuation).
