A quest, a war, a ring that would be grounds for calling any wedding off, a king without a kingdom, and a furry little "hero" named Frito, ready - or maybe just forced by the wizard Goodgulf - to undertake the one mission that can save Lower Middle Earth from enslavement by the evil Sorhed. Luscious Elf-maidens, a roller-skating dragon, ugly plants that can soul kiss the unwary to death-these are just some of the ingredients in the wildest, wackiest, most irreverent excursion into fantasy realms that anyone has ever dared to undertake.

When Kantkiss Neverclean replaces her sister as a contestant on the Hunger Games - the second-highest-rated reality TV show in Peaceland, behind Extreme Home Makeover - she has no idea what to expect. Having lived her entire life in the telemarketing district’s worst neighborhood, the Crack, Kantkiss feels unprepared to fight to the death while simultaneously winking and looking adorable for the cameras. Soon, her survival rests on choosing between the dreamy hunk from home, Carol Handsomestein, or the doughy klutz, Pita Malarkey....

An affectionate but take-no-prisoners send-up of the massive literary and television franchise, Lame of Thrones offers fans a way of reentering the fictional world they have come to love and merrily explodes all of its conventions - as well as their expectations of the characters - to hilarious ends. It may even leave you more satisfied than the actual TV ending of Game of Thrones. In fact, if it doesn't the Lampoon has really dropped the ball.

"Il Trono di Lame" ti porterà a Westopolis, dove diversi personaggi egomaniaci ed estremamente attraenti stanno gareggiando per essere a capo del reame e sedere sulla Sedia Appuntita. Il nostro eroe Jon Show era uno su cui puntare, ma il suo prematuro omicidio per mano dei suoi uomini Marrani della Notte lo fa sembrare ormai improbabile. E allora chi sarà il prossimo? E succede altro.

Die unübertroffene Parodie auf Der Herr der Ringe in einer neuen, modernen, politisch einigermaßen korrekten Übersetzung. Der Millionenbestseller endlich wieder auf Deutsch lieferbar! Eine fluchtartige Abreise, ein dräuender Krieg, ein verwunschener Ring – alles gute Vorwände, um eine Hochzeit zu canceln. Doch ein kleiner, pelziger Halbheld namens Froyo macht sich auf den Weg, um sein heimeliges Gauland und am Ende sogar ganz Untererde vor dem Untergang zu retten, vielleicht aber auch nicht, denn hier wird nicht gespoilert.
