In the Company of Ogres by A. Lee Martinez

Meet Never Dead Ned. His name isn’t entirely correct though, because he does die frequently. He just doesn’t stay dead because a witch clothed all in red keeps resurrecting him. He has a pretty comfortable accounting job for a crack mercenary unit, that is until he gets transferred. Now he is Commander of Ogre Company, the rowdiest bunch of soldiers, and the place where only the worst of the worst end up. Besides the red witch he also has a demon prince and a duck-billed wizard chasing after him. Why him? What makes Ned so special? He hasn’t a clue, but he does know he will probably die a lot finding out.

This is a very humorous fantasy tale. It has ogres, sirens, orcs, Amazons, and Ned dying over and over again. What more do you need? Recommended for anyone into Terry Pratchett or Christopher Moore, and for ages 14 and up.
