Grailblazers - The Holy Grail and the Wholly Inept
The back of the book says:

Fifteen hundred years have passed and the Grail is still missing, presumed ineffable; the Knights have dumped the Quest and now deliver pizzas; the sinister financial services industry of the lost kingdom of Atlantis threatens the universe with fiscal Armageddon; while in the background lurks the dark, brooding, red-caped presence of Father Christmas.
In other words, Grailmate. Has Prince Boamund of Northgales (Snotty to friends) woken from his enchanted sleep in time to snatch back the Apron of Invincibility, overthrow the dark power of the Lord of the Reindeer and find out exactly what a Grail is? And just who did do the washing-up after the Last Supper?
Take a thrilling Grailhound bus ride into the wildly improbable with Tom Holt.

What critics have said

`A rival to the comic throne.'
Starburst

`Tom Holt takes hold of all heroic conventions with a skilful hand
and performs a sparkling miracle of his own'
Washington Post

Quote from My Hero
He raised his hand, pointed the Colt and fired.
It would be an exaggeration to say that the whole of Skinner's life flashed before his eyes, because he'd had a long and interesting life and there simply wasn't time. He'd got as far as his sixth birthday party, when Jenny Mason ate too much jelly roll and was sick on Mom's new carpet, when he realised he was still alive.

(Tom Holt, "My Hero")
