The Worm Returns
(2016)(The third book in the Fantasy Collective series)
A novel by Piers Anthony and J R Rain
Way out west, a tough-as-nails bank robber becomes Earth’s last hope…
Bad Buffalo is a rootin’, tootin’, sharp-shootin’ son of a gun. He’s also the roughest, toughest, meanest gunfighter the West has ever known. In fact, his only friend is a horse named Horse. When Bad Buffalo comes to town, people get out of Dodge. Literally.
But when Bad Buffalo meets Dia the fairy, she begs for his help. Intergalactic worms have returned to raid the planet and suck the Earth dry of its magic. When the magic is gone—and so, the fairies—the Earth will stop turning on its axis.
Bad Buffalo is a reluctant cowboy hero, so Dia strikes a tantalizing bargain with him: If he plugs up the wormholes and saves Earth, she’ll be his gal. Yes, in that way...and in that order.
So, have gun will travel—through space and time and the singularities. But it’s sure going to take a lot of Bad Buffalo’s bullets to plug those wormholes. Can this unlikely pair save the Earth from utter destruction by the voracious alien worms?
In THE WORM RETURNS, bestselling authors Piers Anthony and J.R. Rain craft a rollicking cross-genre tale of an antihero gunslinger with grit and a brilliant faery who must join forces to save the planet. Fans of classic Westerns, magical fantasy and campy science fiction will delight in this hilarious, fast-paced genre mashup about a planet that’s being devoured by a diabolical species—and a true love that transcends the universe.
★★★★★ "Come witness a highly entertaining, word-slinging duel between masterful storytellers J.R. Rain and Piers Anthony. You can literally see them writing their characters into crazy predicaments and handing the reins of the story to the other; while also weaving a solid, and hysterical adventure. Who wins? We the readers do, of course! (I bet the authors had a blast too.)" ―Amazon reviewer
★★★★★ "Outlaw Bad Buffalo not your typical hero, but a hero none the less, after he teams up with a feisty sprite. It was a fast read that had me laughing several times. I thoroughly enjoyed it." ―Amazon reviewer
★★★★★ "Genre mashup at it's best! I always enjoy the books that Rain & Anthony write together. Keep 'em coming!" ―Amazon reviewer
★★★★★ "You will be sorry when you reach the end." ―Amazon reviewer
★★★★★ "A perfect formula: meanest, baddest, cruelest and smelliest outlaw Bad Buffalo + Blueberry blonde sprite Dia = a hilariously outrageous adventure." ―Amazon reviewer
