Zapped
Brian Weaver, an online data marketing assistant (even he doesn't know what that is), finds himself abruptly transported to a parallel world, a place of bizarre creatures, magical forces and psychopathic fairies.

Brian pitches for a job in the pub while Herman helps an old warrior friend. Barbara finds herself in charge of the Munty Pet show, which Howell is attempting to fix.
Brian hits on an idea for a sure-fire money-spinner when he introduces popcorn to Munty. Steg follows his success jealously.

Meanwhile Munty's most violent gangster, Slasher Morgan orders Howell to make a truth drug, with unexpected results. There's much excitement about the Protector's Wisdom-Giving festival, a high point of the Munty cultural year.
Herman relaunches the pub, new look, new drinks and an advert in the local paper. But when Brian collects the wrong barrel from the docks the entire gang end up trapped inside. Meanwhile the deadly disease of Woodpox is sweeping through Munty.
Brian has the amulet that can get him home, but it doesn't work. Howell tricks him into getting a book from the sinister Munty Library to help. Barbara's mother comes to visit and takes a shine to Herman. Meanwhile Steg is mistaken for a goblin.
Brian joins the Munty Reserve forces for some easy money. Barbara finally gets into the Seers Guild and Steg joins a Dragon Spotting Society. But Howell knows that there is something menacing lurking outside Munty and it's getting closer...
