The Abysmal Army is a group of misfits and rejects of armies that tried their best to make a living in medieval times when what we now call mythical creatures lived and worked side by side with humans. Thackery was their leader and he formed 99% of the collective IQ of the army. The Abysmals were a mixed bag of dwarves, gargoyles, grotesques, dragons, orcs and the occasional human. They traveled all over Europe looking for fame and fortune. However they were the least successful army going around and would run up the surrender flag at the drop of a helmet. If you are into puns, impossible situations and have a warped sense of humour, this may be the book for you.
