Thraxas and the Sorcerers

Martin Scott is the pseudonym under which Martin Millar writes his humorous fantasy adventures about Thraxas the overweight, beer-loving private eye and man of action in a fantasy world of elves, Orcs, and mean streets. On his first outing Thraxas won the World Fantasy Award, and has continued his exploits through seven novels, with an eighth forthcoming. The Guardian has praised the series as "blindingly funny, deeply subversive," while SFX calls Thraxas "a pulp fiction hero par excellence." Thraxas' adventures are an international hit, having been published in France, Japan, Russia, the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland. Now Americans are finding out what they've been missing. Martin Millar, under his own name, has written several mainstream novels, such as The Good Fairies of New York, Love and Peace with Melody Paradise, and his newest novel, Suzy, Led Zeppelin and Me, which The Guardian called "brilliant" and the London Times praised as one of the few "great rock novels." He has been compared to Kurt Vonnegut and Armistead Maupin, and The Edinburgh Times calls him "one of Britain's most gifted underground writers." Originally from Glasgow, Scotland, he lives in London, England in a flat filled with videos of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.Scott, Martin is the author of 'Thraxas and the Sorcerers' with ISBN 9780743499088 and ISBN 0743499085.
