It’s No Joke That on April 1st Washington Will Become a Political Fantasyland in this New Book by Politcal Media Expert
Instant Author Guest: Terry Irving, four time Emmy award winning TV producer and author of Courier and The Day of the Dragonking: Book One of the Last American Wizard.
Terry Irving’s new political satire The Day of the Dragonking: Book One of the Last American Wizard, released April 1st by publisher Ronin Robot Press, turns Washington’s political battlefield into a political fantasyland. Irving uses clichéd Washington stereotypes and mashes them together with fantasy tropes, breathing new life into political satire. The novel is thick with exposition, often more concerned with the rules of the post-Change world than telling a story with it.
Suicide attackers with magical abilities bring down a 747 by summoning a dragon to rip it from the sky, using the hundreds of lives lost as a sacrifice to initiate the Change. Hope appears in the nation’s capital where, along with transforming Democrats into potbellied elves, Republicans into cantankerous dwarves, and Tea Party members into trolls, the Change has granted struggling freelance journalist Steve Rowan the abilities of the Tarot Arcana’s Fool card, making him a powerful, yet unreliable, wizard. Realizing his potential, he is “hired” by the trivia-obsessed sentient computer Barnaby and coupled with the attractive, no-nonsense female Navy SEAL Ace Morningstar to uncover the puppet masters behind the plane crash. The Day of The Dragonking foreshadows a greater enemy behind all this madness while barely hinting at its identity, offering a wonderfully bizarre consolation prize as its denouement.
