Abnett, Dan -- Triumff: Her Majesty's Hero
It is impossible to describe this book as anything other than
Discworld fanfic. Competent fanfic, though. It's set in an alternate
modern London, with medieval color and a lot of (Church-controlled)
magical technology. Our hero (and Gloriana's) is lounging about,
trying to avoid fame and fortune after a
more-disastrous-than-is-commonly-known expedition to Discover
Australia. Dastardly plots refuse to avoid him. The writing is
entertaining enough to support all the sight gags (e.g., the Swiss
army sword, you get the idea).
