Synopsis

New York Times bestselling fantasy author Robert Asprin invites you into his popular “mythtifying” series that magically blends mayhem, wizardry, and mirth. In this frolicking tale, a naive and lazy magician’s apprentice must stretch his
powers to protect himself and his companions as they travel through exotic dimensions.

When his master is assassinated, young Skeeve teams with Aahz, a yellow-eyed demon who has lost his powers.

As they zip around the universe, looking for the killer, they match wits and spells with devilish imps, fire-breathing dragons, and a host of eerie, mythical beings.

Goodreads review by Bradley on December 09, 2020

Okay, so, it turns out I'm a huge fan of Robert Asprin already. It only took one book but he's already better (to me) than Piers Anthony's Xanth series. From 1978, this first one hits all the right tones of the brand new D&D sessions just out on the market mixed with delightfully light humor. You ge......more

Goodreads review by Stefan on December 18, 2012

I read quite a few of the books in this series several years ago. I remembered enjoying it then, so I thought I'd give it a re-read now and see if the magik was still there. Indeed it is! Another Fine Myth is a highly entertaining light read that I couldn't put down. The story revolves around the adv......more

"Demon"-that's short for "Dimensional Traveler". Things just go from bad to worse once they find that he (the Dimensional Traveler tha......more
