Just One Last Dungeon

by Doug Ward

Overview

Grady was a weary old adventurer who thought those days were long gone. He was wrong.

You need to read this epic fantasy novel because it is a great adventure story where an old adventurer tries to rescue a princess and save a town from the clutches of an evil scourge with a ridiculous name.  It has many Halloween aspects, so it would make an especially great fall read.

“Just One Last Dungeon is a thrilling fantasy novel in the tradition of Sword of Shannara, Kings of the Wyld, and the Dragonlance Chronicles. If you like classic fantasy, monsters, and a touch of Halloween, then you’ll love this action-packed tale.” 

Grady is an old, retired adventurer whose best days are behind him.  Living off his accumulated treasure was a great idea, but he had a tendency to overspend.  Now, he is forced to live in a run-down apartment near where he started his career.  It’s a vicious cycle he would like to break, so when a young upstart at the local tavern challenges him to a contest, Grady reluctantly agrees to take part.   This story features many monsters and all of your favorite fantasy races.  The book is actually two stories in one.  The first part was published in The Forging of the Ring, while the next chapter comes from Tales from the Grimacing Goblin.  I loved these characters so much that I thought they deserved to have their tale finished in a book of their own. I think you will love the Dungeons & Dragons feel of this book, along with the distinct Halloween elements. It was formerly published under the title, The Curse of Count Dookula (I know. It’s such a silly name.) This story takes place in my world, Terrene, taking place after The War of the Stone. Although reading those books is not necessary, it would clarify some of the things you are going to read here.

As one reviewer said of Just One Last Dungeon; “Author Doug Ward fills his energetic story with interesting characters and touches of humor.”

About the Author

Doug Ward currently lives in Western Pennsylvania and is a graduate of Slippery Rock University. He has a BFA is in Fine Art and spends much of his time doing oil paintings, which incorporate mythology and science, and writing.

Doug's most recent series is "The War of the Stone." It is a fantasy series that introduces his world and the mythological beings who inhabit it. The first book is called, "Lich." If you like goblins, necromancers, and mayhem in general, this series is for you.

Of his first series, The True Story of the Zombie Apocalypse, Doug Ward says, "I like to write about parasitic zombies. They feel (to me) more scientifically grounded than other types. It's also pretty scary how many parasitic creatures are inside of us at this very moment. Some have even bonded with us for so long that they are actually a part of our DNA. Parasites have been known to take over their hosts. A few years ago, my wife called me from a friend's house and said that a mouse kept trying to snuggle with the cat. Actually nuzzling up to the cat's face. I quickly informed her that the mouse was infected by a parasite and that they needed to remove it from the house immediately.
The parasite wanted to be eaten by the cat so it could continue its life cycle in the bowels of the unfortunate creature. This flatworm not only controls mice, but it can infect humans as well. "I have blended many scientific ideas into Parasite, which is a four book series.
Saving Jebediah is a fun piece of fan fiction I wrote for a contest Mark Tufo was having. It should be read as a prequel because the characters in Saving Jebediah turn up in the 4 book series."
