Review

HOW TO RESCUE A DEAD PRINCESS is pure wonder. Jeff Strand is setting a new precedent for writers of comedy and most other genres. This book has everything and I promise you'll have to force yourself not to rush to his site and buy another one of his books. But it's okay, buy one. 4-1/2 Stars! ~ Rhapsody Magazine

Tired of the predictable quest fantasy? Try Jeff Strand's How To Rescue A Dead Princess--a totally unpredictable and very funny take-off on generic quest fantasies. The adventures grow increasingly hilarious until even the traditional happy ending winds up with a humorous and surprising twist. In this irreverent tale, Strand cleverly weaves suspense in with his ingenious fantasy quest parody, producing a delightful and funny book. 4-1/2 Stars! ~ Scribes World Reviews

HOW TO RESCUE A DEAD PRINCESS is one of those books that has to be read to be believed--not that I believed one line of it. Disbelief didn't stop me from laughing, gasping, and just generally enjoying the whole thing. All I can say is: Jeff Strand should be arrested for writing addictive works--maybe I should write my congressman (if Jeff is incarcerated, he will have more time to write). This is the second one of his books I've read and I want more. And I want them now. Very Highly Recommended! ~ Millennium SF & F Magazine, August 2000
