Synopsis

Aahz discovers that the shabby-looking sword he bought at a flea market in a remote dimension is Ersatz, leader of the Golden Hoard, a fabled collection of powerful magical treasures that can turn any ordinary being into a hero. They go
in search of the other members of the Hoard, only to find that they're not the only ones looking. A dancer named Calypsa, working with Aahz's old friend Tananda, is seeking to collect them to free her grandfather from the dreaded wizard Barrik.
Trouble is, everyone wants the treasures for themselves, and there are good reasons why the Golden Hoard is never all in the same dimension at one time.

Goodreads review by David on May 29, 2012

Myth-gotten gains is almost a myth-begotten adventure with very little redeeming to it. It is poorly paced and reads like an imitation of the original novels in this series. It is sort of like an author was trying to replicate another author's work. Oh! That pretty much seems to be the case here as......more

Goodreads review by Jessica on January 15, 2020

There's nothing quite like a Myth book to put me in a good mood. I know there's criticism about the Nye co-authoring. I don't mind it. I sorely miss Skeeve, but the books have been following other characters for a while now. Asprin passing the torch gave us the gift of extending his world building. I......more

I miss Robert Aspirin. Or, at least, I am grateful for having read his MYTH Series from the beginning. Alas, this story was far from the original greatness I found among those earlier stories. This outing has Aahz and Tananda on a quest for the Great Hoard of magical items, or what is left of them, f......more
