Synopsis.
Wherever danger lurks, wherever evil threatens to destroy
humanity, wherever something really nasty and icky is happening,
there’s Dwayne Hickenbottom, savior of Doxxville… running
the other way, or at least, trying to.
Dwayne is a cog. A very
small cog in very large machine. Not a very important machine,
but a machine none the less. The great stationary supplying
machine of the 20th century. He likes coffee, tidy work areas
and untangled paperclips. It might not be much of a life, but
it’s his, and he’s pretty darn proud of it. But when he
finds himself in the far off world of Doxxville and deemed
it’s savior by Nigel, the keeper of the War Boots, his life is
about to finally get interesting.
Now Dwayne must face lovesick
skeletons, invisible spies, giant pythons and fast food
employees to free Doxxville from the evil Ashtofsky in this
humorous, yet exciting adventure. Dwayne Hickenbottom and the
War Boots of Doxxville.

Okay. I picked up Dwayne
Hickenbottom for myself maybe a year ago and was excited about
getting to know Dwayne and his kooky friends. That was until
my (at the time) 10 year old son, Kristofer, saw the
"cool" cover and asked if he could read it for an
upcoming school book report. Before I could say yes, he had
the book in his hands and was happily reading.
A day or two later, Kris was done reading and asked if I
wouldn't mind letting him bring Dwayne Hickenbottom to school
so a friend of his could read it, too. Again, before yes
escaped my mouth he was off and so was Dwayne. Fast forward
one year later. It was book report time, again and Dwayne
Hickenbottom and the War Boots of Doxxville was the book of
choice.
With that said, I just like to thank G.A. Perkins for the
great story and hope we get another.
PS. Kris got a B+ and a A on both book reports.

I came across G.A. Perkins
web site (www.thegrantperkins.com) and this soon led me from
his amazing artwork to the novel and the amazing fantasy that
is Doxxville (www.doxxville.com).
I'm not usually one for reading books, too lazy, not enough
hours in the day, etc. ((the usual excuses) But i'm glad I
found time for this. A bizarre range of characters, great
dialogue and an original twisty plot. Very enjoyable, fantasy
sci-fi comedy, it'll make you laugh and cry, but hopefully not
at the same time! I look forward to the sequel...

"Dwayne
Hickenbottom and the War Boots of Doxxville"
A very funny book from beginning to end, with some fabulous
characters and interesting locations. Dwayne is something of
an anti-hero, but he learns that everyone has their breaking
point. His companion, Nigel, gives him lots of helpful
advice and gets him out of some sticky situations. Their
foes, the Ashtofsky Triplets, are certainly a force to be
reckoned with, but the War Boots can overcome any adversary
- can't they? All in
all, a great read!

From
its opening paragraph through to its final chapter Dwayne
Hickenbotton and the War Boots of Doxxville is packed
solid with sharp humour, imaginative ideas and colourful
characters. With a surprise round every corner Dwaynes
hilarious adventures never had a dull moment and would
certainly give many other fantasy writers out there a run
for their money. I loved every minute of it – J S Beal.
