Urgum the Axeman
''The Urgum the Axeman trilogy'' is a set of books written by British author Kjartan Poskitt. The character first appeared in the Murderous Maths series by Kjartan Poskitt. The story centres on Urgum, the last of the true barbarians, (a breed of "savages") who lives with his wife Divina, his daughter Molly, and his seven savage sons in Golgarth Cragg. He is the fiercest barbarian the Lost Desert has ever known. There are three books about Urgum. They contain lots of humour, and the third book, ''Urgum and the Googoobah'', was awarded the Roald Dahl Funny Prize. The story takes place in the Lost Desert, where the people are divided into two groups - the savages, who have to fight for survival, and the softhands, the civilized people who spend all their time reading and relaxing and behaving like genuine softies. They are quite snobby, and wear smart blue or green clothes and hats.
This is the first book in the Urgum trilogy, published in 2006. It centres on the twin barbarian gods, Tangor and Tangal, getting worried that their barbarian champion is always trying to find something dangerous to do, in doing so killing himself and coming up in the afterlife to join Tangor and Tangal and feast for eternity. Dying is considered a glorious thing to barbarians. Tangor and Tangal try to prevent this happening by moving time forward ten years. When he gets back home from his so-called unicorn hunt with his sons, which in reality, he spent a few days on (with everything having moved forward ten years), to his astonishment, his wife has produced a ten-year-old daughter called Molly. At first Urgum loathes her, but then finds out that she's tougher than he thought. His wife has completely re-decorated the cave, and installed a new lounge and bathroom. Urgum finds that things have completely changed while he was away.
==Urgum and the Seat of Flames==
This is the second book in the Urgum trilogy. Tangor and Tangal are afraid that their barbarian is getting too soft. Using a special machine called the "Turbo Evolver" and make an animal called a gorgo, a half-bird, half-gorilla, to issue a challenge to Urgum. They create a whole bunch of them and proclaim one the leader, called "Orgo the Gorgo". The gorgos and Urgum meet up in the "Battle Market". Later on, Urgum enteres the Savvy awards, to see who will be Savage of the Year. Orgo enters one of the experiments that the barbarian gods created in the Turbo Evolver, called a poppo (half-porcupine, half-hippo. In the end, a duel is begun, and Urgum and Orgo remove their trousers. Urgum is made to wear the "Flaming Pants of Shumbitt", while Orgo cheats by wearing metal underpants. At first, has an advantage, but Urgum soon beats him.
Later, in the "Gloating Room", Urgum soon realises how much he really cares for Orgo, and gives him his Savvy award as he dies. In the end, Orgo is shown in the Hallowed Halls of Sirrus, entering Tangor and Tangal's cave, asking to be fed for eternity. Tangor and Tangal sheepishly get all the required foodstuffs for him to eat.
