Full Disclosure : I've never met Ric, but I've been reading his blog for years, so I am cyber-acquainted with him. His blog is here, and his website is here.

My review in 50 words or less...
Ah, Tyrania! An isolated, unwanted principality high on a Swiss alp; its citizens blessed with Neanderthal genes and persistent in-breeding. Queen Doreen is determined to modernize Tyrania, and shanghais Eula Gibson to be the royal tutor. Mayhem, culture-shock, and intrigue ensue. A hilarious satire. Highly recommended.
