William Bradshaw, King of the Goblins

Desperate for work, William Bradshaw makes the mistake of accepting a manager position offered by the law firm of Cickam, Wender and Downe. Too late he learns that his job is to 'manage' the goblins on the world of Other Place as their king. Will's goblin followers are short, stupid and mildly crazy, and setting traps is the national pastime. Will is stuck in his job until he can find a loophole in his king contract. Forty-seven previous kings managed to escape, so it can't be that hard.

Will's contract is soon the least of his worries when he accidentally starts a war with a neighboring human kingdom and its fashion obsessed monarch Kervol Ket. Will is going to have to win the war if he's going to live long enough to get home, a tall order when one man is worth ten to twenty goblins. Worse, the goblins haven't won a war in recorded history, and they have no intention of starting now.

But this time things are going to be different. Will is determined to win, backed up by teeming hordes of goblins, two troll bodyguards with anger management issues, a foul tempered magic mirror and an overachieving fire scepter. It's going to take stealth, subterfuge and a seemingly limitless supply of exploding outhouses, but Will is going to win.
