Synopsis

The Pan of Hamgee needs answers, although he’s not even sure he knows the questions.He has a chance to go straight but it’s been so long that he’s almost forgotten how. Despite a death warrant over his head he is released, given a state-sponsored business, and a year’s amnesty for all misdemeanours while he adjusts. On the down side, Ruth has left him for his nemesis, Lord Vernon. The Pan doesn’t have a year, either. In only five days Lord Vernon will gain total power and destroy K'Barth. Unless The Pan can stop him. Because even though the Candidate, the person prophesied to save K'Barth, has finally appeared it's still going to be down to The Pan to make things right. But he has no clue where to start or whether he even can. The future hangs by a thread and the only person who can fix it is The Pan: a man without a plan.A WORD WITH THE AUTHORWhat made you write the K'Barthan Series? Why is it special?You know the saying: that if the book you want doesn't exist you must write it? That. I love funny British authors, comedic sci fi, epic fantasy, adventure, action, humour - or humor. Misfit characters are great, the weirder the better and an evil baddie. I like genre fiction mashups: alien races, flying cars, car chases, static powered laser guns. Dr Who meets Terry Pratchett. K'Barth is kind of first contact, only not. There are quirky characters, from 6ft Swamp Things with antennae to cute furry Blurpons with fluffy ears, button eyes and love of extreme violence. But the eternal questions they face mirror ours.This series should be read in order: This is book 3, to make sense of it, listen to Few Are Chosen, K'Barthan Series: Part 1 and The Wrong Stuff, K'Barthan Series: Part 2, first. The last book is Looking For Trouble, K'Barthan Series: Part 4There's also a 30min prequel, Unlucky Dip, which is free if you join my mailing list: https://www.hamgee.co.uk/audioud.html

One Man: No Plan is book three in the K’Barthan series and probably my favourite so far. The characters are already established as is the world they live in. Some of them such as Deidre and General Moteurs become more three-dimensional as their personalities and motives are revealed and they are not......more

Goodreads review by David on June 26, 2014

There are some tense moments in this third book of the series. I really enjoyed book one and I loved book two; for me this falls somewhere between the two. I would have liked a little more action, and a little more time with my favourite characters, which says more about my reading taste than the wr......more
