    About this audiobook

    The Pan of Hamgee doesn’t believe in miracles but if he’s going to save K’Barth it looks as if he might need one.

    He's not quite as alone as he thought. The punters from The Parrot and Screwdriver are right behind him and he has rescued three of his friends from the Grongolian Security Forces, who are now of course, three of the nation's most wanted, which doesn't make life easy. He even has something of a plan for once. It involves making peace with the Resistance, trying to resurrect the Underground movement, and toppling Lord Vernon.

    Now, The Pan just needs to keep his head down and maintain a low profile. He must be brave and clever and stay in control. That's going to be a first. But the hardest part will be staying alive long enough to put his plan into action.

    Q - So, tell us about the K’Barthan Series. What made you write it? What makes it special?

    A - You know that saying, that if the book you want doesn't exist you have to write it? That. I love funny British authors, comedic, epic, fantasy, sci-fi, adventure, action, British humour - or humor. Misfit characters, the weirder the better, a love-to-hate baddie, a genre mash up like StarWars. I like weird alien races, flying cars, car chases, static powered lasers. Dr Who meets Terry Pratchet. K'Barth is kind of first contact, only not. You'll find all sorts of quirky characters, from six feet Swamp Things with antennae to cute furry Blurpons, with fluffy ears, big button eyes and a penchant for extreme violence. But for all that, the eternal questions they face are the same as ours. This series is best read in order:

    Few Are Chosen, K'Barthan Series: Part 1, 2. The Wrong Stuff, K'Barthan Series: Part 2, 3.One Man: No Plan, K'Barthan Series: Part 3 and 4. Looking For Trouble, K'Barthan Series: Part 4

    There's also a 30min prequel, Unlucky Dip, which is free, for details go to: https://www.hamgee.co.uk/audioud.html

      Unusual, great characters, an interesting (or should I say arresting), and well described plot. Full of twists and turns, fun and excitement. It got me well and truly hooked. The narrator provided the dot over the "i", as he brought all the characters to life using an enormous range of dialects.
      Definitely a " suite of books" to be sweetly devoured!

      Arnold's sandals! I absolutely loved this series. I laughed and cried and guffawed in one paragraph. The characters are so believable and colorful. Thank you. It is a blessing to be able to share in this world and in the author's tallent. And 10 stars to the narrator. You made the characters come allive. Best listen read of 2020 for me
