Another Fine Myth by Robert Lynn Asprin introduces Skeeve, a novice magician whose training ends abruptly when an assassin kills his mentor. Left with only half-learned magic and the unexpected guidance of Aahz, a sarcastic demon stripped of his powers, Skeeve is pushed into a chaotic world of interdimensional sorcery, dragons, and dubious allies. As he pursues revenge, he must navigate bizarre realms where magic and quasi-scientific forces collide, testing both his nerve and his limited skills. Blending light-hearted comedy with sword-and-sorcery adventure, the novel follows a male protagonist who learns that surviving the magical trade can be as tricky as mastering it.
As Court Magician to Rodrick the Fifth of Possiltum, Skeeve must oppose the universe's mightiest invading army, but he is not sure how, and his mentor, Aahz, who lost his sorcerer's power, cannot help.
Skeeve, the gifted young court magician, joins forces with a scaley but clever Pervect and a charming demon thief to obtain the Trophy, in an interdimensional fantasy. Reissue.
