Classic ’80s comedy writer Richard Sparks, whose credits include Not The Nine O’Clock News and The Secret Policeman’s Ball, has written a fantasy novel inspired by the world of fantasy RPGs.

Sparks, whose long career has covered TV, film, radio, opera, theatre, and the stage, has turned his hand to comedy novel writing with New Rock, New Role. It’s a fantasy that takes a young team of E-Gamers and transports them to a slightly familiar fantasy world. 

The newly isekai’d team have to figure out this strange new world and learn the rules of this fantasy land. Sounds like a fun idea from a debut author with an established track record for comedy.

New Rock, New Role will be published on December 12th and can be pre-ordered here.
