Darren Trott is living the dream. It just isn't the dream he applied for. Darren has a job, a girlfriend and a house with potential. But the job is one he hates, his girlfriend has plans that exclude him, and the house hides secrets that he's done his best to forget. When his past comes back to haunt him, he's forced to confront the possibility that he's lived his whole life as a lie. Someone wants his help. To give it, Darren must step away from his cozy existence to an alien world where tyrants rule and where he and his newfound companions are the only ones that can destroy the monster's murderous stranglehold. But there are those, in both worlds, who don't want him to succeed. Psychopathic relatives, aboriginal demons, warrior queens, and a Brownie called George (with claws, a pork-pie hat and an attitude bigger than a banker's wage), all want a piece of Darren.
