Quote: ...I'm missing something.The crossover is with the book Expecting Someone Taller, by Tom Holt (published 1987). The back-cover blurb -- one of the best blurbs
I've ever read -- goes like this:
Quote: Malcolm Fisher had barely heard of the Norse gods. Then he inherited the Ring of the Nibelungs from a dying badger (yes, a badger) who was-----
"expecting someone taller." Now Malcolm is the possessor of awesome magical powers -- and the rightful Ruler of the World.
Hardly the undisputed ruler, however. Gods, dwarves, valkyries, even an amorous Rhinemaiden, all want the Ring -- despite the fearsome curse upon it.
Malcolm is about to learn that some are born to greatness. And some are, well, badgered into it.
Big Brother is watching you. And damn, you are so bloody BORING.
