T. J. C. Boder the Giant

Annotation

In this fantasy novel, a giant named Bder sets out to prove his worth through a series of challenges and adventures across the continent of Durogg which is populated by manimals those who are half human and half animal. Some years ago, these people had worked to rid themselves of Bder, a ten-meter-tall giant pest. The stories say he had been marauding among their farming communities and consuming everything is sight. But the truth, as always, is a little bit more complicated than that. Bder has been outcast and exiled to live on an island in the middle of a large river, when an opportunity arises that might help him to redeem himself. Although the populace at large distrusts and fears him, a merchant in need of a rambunctious giant seeks him out for assistance. So Bder, along with friends and family, sets out on a series of adventures in which he receives help from a princess, deals with some trolls, fights in the arena, faces giant reptiles, Locustmen and pirates and recovers a vast treasure. Whilst along the way he seeks to win the hearts of both a community and a lovely giantess. But only time will tell if Bder can ever fully redeem himself! T.J.C.
