While on a quest to unload an offensive parrot, a kindly goblin must defend all of Xanth from robot invaders in this zany fantasy adventure. Most goblins are decidedly unpleasant company, but Goody Goblin is cursed with unflappable kindness. So, it is all the more frustrating when he is charged with finding a suitable home for the Pet Peeve: a foulmouthed parrot with a knack for insulting anyone in its vicinity . . . while mimicking the voice of the person carrying it. Goody is joined on his quest by the brawny warrior Hannah Barbarian, who must protect him in his travels. But when they unwittingly trigger an invasion of robot marauders, insults are the least of their worries. With all of Xanth in danger, Goody, Hannah—and the beautiful goblin chief Gwenny Goblin—must rally dragons, zombies, centaurs, and more to fend off their mechanical foes.
