If you have never read a MYTH book, you are in for a treat, but I wouldn't start with this one. This story starts after MYTH, Inc. has dissolved and Skeeve (actually The Great Skeeve) is on a sabbatical. For those of you familiar with Asprin's world of insanity, this is a good one.Skeeve is off...

In a strange realm, Roan was the strangest of all -- because he always looked the same: normal. Dreamland was the place where sleepers in the "real" world went when they dreamed, and the permanent residents might change their form without warning. In dreams, there's nothing unusual about talking ...
Meet Keith Doyle--weirdo, business major, nerd, and believer in myths. To his joy--and horror--Keith has just discovered a village of elves in the university library. And when the library is threatened with demolition, Keith and the elves join forces to save it.
I said, as I swung on board. The doors scissored closed behind me. I wriggled into one of the deep synthleather seats, recently vacated, I was certain, by a man approximately my height, but a great deal broader, and suffering from hyperhidrosis. I tried to ignore the dampness and smell. “I am Tho...
Keith insisted, for the fourth or fifth time. “Thanks for asking me, but I can find something. Really.” The kitchen was full of cooks, yet nothing was getting cooked, except tempers. He tried to catch Keva’s eye, but she wasn’t looking at him or anyone else. Holl, head propped up on his palm, sat...
One for his roommate, Patrick Morgan, one for his parents, one for his resident advisor, Rick, and one for Diane, over which he lingered lovingly, crowding all the detail he could in the small message square. He had saved a special card for Ludmilla Hempert, the old woman with whom he shared the ...
Everything about the dream flower seemed normal, except that instead of tracking the sun throughout the day, its face followed her. There were plenty of sunflowers in the garden outside, but why would she dream about them instead of the roses or asters or herbs? All of this place was new to her. ...
The Seventeenth century it was. Two weeks and three centuries later we were in love.Her name: Diana Seven; my name: Christopher Charles Mar d’Earth. Both of old stock, or so I thought; both certainly of Earth; both certainly human, for what that might mean in this galactic day. She was young, how...
The small craft that nestled there was a marvel of efficiency over art. Not a square centimeter occupied its trim frame. Her name, enameled upon the hull forward of the main hatch, was CK-M945B. True, there was little euphony in the designation, but it held music for my ears. When Parsons had inf...
Ray said as he loped along beside Rose. They were walking down the busy street, and Rose seemed to be looking for something. “You know, not with magic or anything.” “What?” Rose asked, stopping short on a corner in the beam of a streetlamp. He all but ran up her heels, and cursed under his breath...
the video memo blaring in the IATA employee cafeteria stated, “to crew an exciting but potentially hazardous and rewarding expedition featuring the latest in Drebian/Terran technology. If you are interested in being one of the few, the brave, call extension 6508.” That brief message had begun a d...
The ongoing battle between environmental interests and business—her business—had become an embarrassment. She hadn’t even known there were environmentalists in Sullivan before the paper-borne tirade had begun, about a year back. It had started with a letter about dumping of industrial waste in th...
Boland said admiringly, surveying the giant underground warehouse. The officers and noncoms stood on a balcony about halfway up the wall. The ceiling was a solid expanse of light, allowing Wolfe to oversee the preparations already under way. Thousands upon thousands of puppets stood in ranks befo...
“Let’s go back and have the rest of our dinner,” she said, as the mechanism hummed to life. “Your friends can fill us in when they come back.” “If they come back,” I said glumly, watching the indicator number rise. “I think tonight’s party is over.” I reached for the controls. She swatted my hand...
