Synopsis

It is the year 2010. Her Divine Majesty, Queen Elizabeth XXX sits upon the throne. Great Britain’s vast Empire is run by alchemy and superstition. Now Sir Rupert Triumff, dashing swordsman, has uncovered a vile plot to dethrone her glorious majesty. For the honour of the nation: to arms!Multi-million selling author Dan Abnett whips up a furious maelstrom of incredible swordfights, wild invention and truly outrageous jokes. “Triumff is a witch’s brew of alternate history, hocus pocus, cracking action and cheesy gags. Reads like Blackadder crossed with Neal Stephenson. It’s a Kind of Magick—don't miss it.” —Stephen Baxter, esq.“Endlessly inventive, joyously irreverent, drenched with adrenaline and wicked humour, Dan Abnett’s Triumff: Her Majesty’s Hero is a brilliant occult-comedy-historical-adventure that’s true to the best traditions of the genres it so eagerly devours.” —Mike Carey, esq.

Goodreads review by Emma on September 17, 2017

Not as funny or as clever as it thinks it is. The dialogue is laboured, the characters are very two diamentional and the plot is incoherent, The ending kind of brings it all together which is why it's 2 stars instead of 1. But I still wouldn't recommend this to anyone. EDIT as of 17th September 2017.......more

Goodreads review by April on May 29, 2011

A blast to read! Full of fart and poop jokes, crazy swashbuckling antics, magic, mysteries and riddled with awful puns. I'll definitely be reading more about Triumff should the author continue his story. Anyone who enjoyed George MacDonald Fraser's Pyrates would probably enjoy the heck out of this o......more
