Aladdin Sins Bad

Aladdin is back-and this time, he’s going to sea.

King Aladdin has never much liked boats (they make him sick). But when the legendary Sinbad the Sailor comes begging for help to rescue his lost wife-trapped in a realm of monsters, zombies, and supernatural traps-Aladdin can’t say no. Or more truthfully, he probably should say no, but that’s never stopped him before.

Accompanied by his stepson Duban, an untested but frighteningly powerful young wizard, Aladdin reluctantly joins Sinbad on a mad voyage in a creaky old dhow. Their goal? Amass enough treasure to bargain for Sinbad’s wife’s freedom-or else steal her from the clutches of the cruel Djinn Prince Zeyn himself. Along the way, they’ll brave whirlpools that lead to otherworldly lands of cloud maidens and ravenous zombies, hatch harebrained magical engineering plans, and navigate Aladdin’s seasick stomach, all while arguing about whether magic is a crutch or a necessity.

But behind every outlandish obstacle lies a darker game: someone is setting traps for them, luring them ever deeper into danger. And Aladdin knows that if he fails, it won’t just cost him his life-it could doom his entire kingdom.

Hilarious, bawdy, and gleefully subversive, Aladdin Sins Bad is a rollicking Arabian Nights adventure that reimagines two of folklore’s most famous rogues. Piers Anthony and J.R. Rain deliver another sharp-witted, magic-soaked tale full of banter, peril, and a reluctant hero who somehow-just barely-keeps saving the day.
