Max Spencer is the unwitting descendant of a legendary sorcerer and the only person who can stop the ever-so-evil robotic unicorn, Princess the Destroyer, from pushing the human race into extinction. This satirical jaunt is filled with humorous creatures such as the merry frobbits and an amusing zombie duck, but serious fantasy fans may find Max's relationship to his powerful magic underdeveloped.
