Gnomegeddon: The Adventures of an Untried Gnome
About this audiobook
Arcwhistle Goldpulley has everything a gnome technowizard could want and more.
He’s just successfully defended his after-post-thesis on harnessing the metamagical residuals of energetic creation and destruction, along with a dramatic demonstration of an application of his theory, one which only blew up two learning halls on campus, and completed his formal education as a master archmage.
He is a successful Paratechnologist, a gnomish master of blending magic and science, often to explosive effect.
He has developed and licensed many significant inventions ranging from autonomous eyebrow trimmers to anti-light anti-sunglasses.
He has contributed significantly to several branches of metamagical thought and theory and continues to do so.
He is, in short, a gnome who has it all.
But, after graduating with honors for more times than he cares to count from TINKER, the Tellanon Institute of Noetic Knowledge, Education, and Research, Arcwhistle is faced with a problem, one which has no easy answer.
What is he going to do with the rest of his life?
How is he going live a life with meaning outside school?
What is he to do beyond his lab and his research?
Where’s the spark?
That is until he discovers a new opportunity... the life of a secret agent gnome.
Armed with his Paratechnological skills and a not-so-secret identity, can Arcwhistle thwart the efforts of ANGST, a group gnome terrorists Abyss-bent on spreading universal entropy, before they destroy Tellanon, the seat of Paratechnological society, undermine gnomish civilization, and ruin dessert for everyone?
Gnomeggedon is a quirky humorous high fantasy story set in the larger Ea’ae macroverse.
No gnomes were harmed in the writing of this book.
