Jig is back - but not because he wants to be. Hines writes about his poor abused little goblin much to Jig's distress. He didn't want to be called Jig the Dragonslayer. He doesn't want to be a hero. But what he wants doesn't count. He's always figuring the odds are going to be against him and he's right. But because he's very smart and ingenious for a goblin - he tends to come out okay. Those around him not so much. This time he gets "volunteered" to go help the Hobgoblins defend against new intruders by the new chief of the goblins because of the new treaty with the Hobgoblins and because the new chief wants to get rid of him. It's a merry old time fighting for his life and that of his companions. Most of the companions are new except for Smudge, his fire spider, who is really one of Jig's best weapons. It is an enjoyable easy read. And the book is well-edited which is a welcome surprise these days. Highly recommended !
