Percival Gynt and the Inevitability of Fire and Other Cases | Eleven Stories by Drew Melbourne | eBook Cover featuring a ring of white five-pointed stars in front of a fiery background

One day, the fate of the entire universe will rest in the hands of one man. A hero. An accountant.

But Percival Gynt is neither of those things.

Not yet.

Collected here for the first time are the further/earlier adventures of Percival Gynt, a young man caught between his own dark past and an incandescent future.

A future of starships and sorcery. Of monsters and mysteries. Of... um...? Card games... and... conference calls?

In this volume, you'll learn how Percival caught his first killer, toppled a despot, and saved Christmas. And YOU (yes, YOU!) will guide Percival through his very darkest day, as he seeks any path to escape...

 

...the inevitability of fire.

 
 

A short story collection and standalone prequel to the SPSFC2 Finalist maxmimalist space-fantasy adventure comedy novel Percival Gynt and the Conspiracy of Days by Drew Melbourne. Published in 2025 by Ruesday Books.
