Tong Lashing (Sir Apropos of Nothing, Book 3)
by Peter David
I'm still on Peter David's crap list for rejecting the opening of this book as a short story for Dragon. It is one of my great disappointments in publishing. You get someone you truly admire to write something for you and then, you simply cannot accept it.
I did try to pay a "kill fee" on it, but he told me to forget it. Later, he sent a message through his wife that he made more money out of putting it in the novel than he would have from selling it to Dragon. So much for my literary efforts.

This book was a complete work of trash!!!! The author works in a pitifully poor "Lord of the Rings" parody with an obscene twist that wasn't even funny. This particular work was as LAME as the original book of the series was fun!
It just goes to show -- that an author will write any drivel, call it a sequel, and if it is in the fantasy genre-- some stupid editor will publish it so that there is a complete trilogy.. no matter how badly it is written, how non-unique, how poor in taste. National Lampoon would have rejected this awful parody.
