<p><b>In the third book of this brutally funny portal fantasy from the author of the Gods Are Bastards, even the most hideous of creatures can have value-sort of . . .</b></p><p>Transported from Earth to another world by a temperamental goddess, misanthrope Seiji was suddenly a dark lord of incredible power. Not that he wanted <i>that</i> exactly. He just hated everything and everyone and wanted to be left alone. So as a big baddie, he's tried to hold back on the pure-evil schtick and make life a little better for his people-without being a total wuss, of course.</p><p>But sometimes baddies gotta be bad. And now Seiji has found himself caught in a military, political, and possibly genocidal conflict with goblins. Historically (albeit wrongly) considered lowly pests, they've gathered under the banner of a self-proclaimed king. And that means all-out war to the last man . . . or goblin, as it were.</p><p>It also may offer Seiji the opportunity to create an unstoppable weapon to use against his nemesis: the insufferably good-hearted, noble, super-freaking-annoying Yoshi, the "Hero." The little twerp will never see it coming. <i>Muahahahahahahaaaa!</i></p><p>
