The goblins are upset with their working conditions, the dragonslayer has thrown a hissy fit over his medical insurance (or lack thereof) and everyone is upset about the terrible canteen coffee.\n\nYet the Wizard hasn't got time to worry about revolution in the workplace - he's about to see his brilliant business plan (based on entrepreneurial flair and involving one or two parallel worlds) disrupted by a clueless young man.\n\nSide effects may include a huge hole in the fabric of reality.\n\nThis is almost certainly going to be a bad day at the office.\n\nBook Description\n\nA story of overlords, underlings and inhuman resources, The Outsorcerer's Apprentice is\nthe hilarious new novel from comic fantasist Tom Holt.\n\nAbout the Author\n\nTom Holt's first poetry was published when he was just thirteen and, to his horror, he was hailed as an infant prodigy. While studying at Oxford, however, he discovered bar billiards and turned from poetry to comic fiction.","brand":"smeikalbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40151352279125,"sku":"9780356502540N","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/4a08b32e-4306-4af4-ae4c-26a24def9ad1.jpg?v=1657011619","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/the-outsorcerers-apprentice","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
