The Recycling Of The Rings is the first book of the parody-themed fantasy-epic series by Liam S. Blades, The Rings Of The Lords. A task force, led by an unconventional substance-abusing wizard named Eldis Orlorfius, plays an uneasy role of peacekeepers in a troubled world. With the goal of stopping a destructive, disastrous war, their quest becomes increasingly bitter, humiliating, and ridiculous as they are forced to make their way across the six Provinces. They must run, fight, or negotiate, as they battle against a bizarre variety of situations. Things stray from the clean & simple Good vs Evil, as they deal with the intricate complexities and motives of various factions that range on various levels of sanity and stupidity. Should they fail, they risk the destruction of society, violent massacres, and complete breakdown of established peace.

This is a spectacular and informative guide to the daring adventurers of the Viking Age. Superb color photographs of Viking ships and swords, clothes and shields, memorial stones and beautiful brooches offer a unique view into the lives of the Norse people and their outstanding achievements.
