Helen is a normal teenage girl. She’s smart.
She’s funny. She’s got some mild body
image issues. And she’s a Minotaur (or
Enchanted American, in the parlance of their times). Troy’s your average overachieving, handsome,
athletic, likeable Asian American guy.
When their boss at their after school job tries to sacrifice
Helen, Helen & Troy are thrust together on a quest by the Lost God. They are aided by the shadowy agents of the
Questing Bureau, as well as an assortment of oddball characters they meet along
the way.
The plot thickens when the Wild Hunt motorcycle gang is
compelled to stop them. Don’t hold the
fact that they are Orcs against them.
Most of the bikers are office workers during the week, and only get out riding
on the weekends. Nevertheless, they have
their heritage to live up to, and will stop at almost nothing to stop Helen
& Troy’s success.
Helen & Troy’s
Epic Road Quest is an absolute joy.
Martinez manages to balance character and plot exceedingly well, while
keeping his tongue firmly planted in cheek.
You want action and adventure?
You’ve got it! You want emotional
growth or a will they or won’t they romance?
You’ve got it! You want laughs
and winking references to a myriad of genre & related items? Well they’re thrown in as well!
