Description
The worlds of fantasy and reality merged in an outstanding first novel of imaginative humour.A diabolical book has spoken of shellfish falling from the sky, and men in skirts on Brighton beach, while a monster, unstuck in time, clatters around the universe . Now the Prophecy has come to pass, and eternal night is over! For the first time in over a thousand years, the sun rises over the battlements of Castle Limbo -- and the King realises he's in big trouble. Being one of the few to have read the full text, he realises the awful fate predicted for him should a newborn child survive until its first birthday. So now the Great Terror is about to commence. And, to add to the King's troubles, his long-banished brothers, the fiendishly cunning Gildroy and the totally hideous Norval, are planning a murderous come-back .Meanwhile, a different type of mayhem is erupting on Brighton seafront . where newsagent and fantasy enthusiast Rex Boggs is about to emerge as the unlikely hero in this time of chaos. It all begins with giant garbage-eating clams - and spacewoman Serena Kowalski - plummeting together to earth . And otherwise it's just another day of fun at the seaside.

Andy Secombe was introduced to a love of fantasy by his father, Sir Harry.

In fact, it was during the filming of The Phantom Menace - while hanging around in the Tunisian desert - that he started writing his first novel: Limbo. This was followed by Limbo II: The Final Chapter, and The Last House in the Galaxy . His fourth novel of outstanding humorous fantasy is Endgame.
