Every heroic fantasy has its hero - the dashing, handsome, fearless warrior who will rush into battle, slaughter the forces of evil, secure in the knowledge that he will save the day and win the favor of the (always beautiful and virginal) princess of the land, and live happily ever after.
This is not about that guy.
Apropos is the son of a prostitute, born of a gang-rape by a bunch of drunk knights, and his mother is convinced that the universe has Great Things planned for him. Apropos is sick of hearing the word "destiny" being bandied about, and he would rather save his own skin than the world. Unfortunately, the world has other plans for him...
Review Quotes
Prepare yourself for the heroic fantasy novel that laughs at convention, scoffs at tradition, and overturns the apple cart of expectations. Peter David, noted 'Writer of Stuff, ' is at it again with Sir Apropos of Nothing, the book that Tolkien is glad he didn't write, the story Eddings shut the door on, the tale too unpredictable for Jordan. I promise you, if you're not rendered speechless at least twice by the end of the book, you're not reading it properly...if you like fantasy, and you're tired of the same old epic quests, noble knights, unpronounceable names, and recycled elves, you'll enjoy Sir Apropos of Nothing....All in all, this is one of the best books I've read in quite a while. -- Green Man Review
