Another Fine Myth (Myth-Adventures Book 1)

Robert Asprin’s Classic Fantasy available for the first time in eBook!<br />Cover and interior illustrations by Phil Foglio!<br /><br />A Recipe for Myth-Adventure ...<br /><br />Skeeve is a magician’s apprentice (and a wanna-be thief) until an assassin’s bolt kills his master, Garkin. Along with Aahz, the green-scaled, purple-tongued demon and master magician summoned by Garkin, he sets out on a quest to get even. The road to vengeance is bound to prove rocky, however, because Skeeve can barely light a candle with his beginning magic, and Aahz has lost his own considerable magical abilities as a consequence of Garkin’s summoning spell.<br />Before they can confront the power-mad wizard who ordered Garkin’s assassination, they must survive a trip to a weird alternate dimension, encounters with Impish hit-men and a somewhat dull but persistent demon hunter who rides a friendly war unicorn, outwit a sharp-dealing Deevel, and deal with other uncanny enemies and even stranger friends ... all without killing each other in the process!<br /><br />The Green-Haired Lady ...<br /><br />“Relax, handsome,” she purred. “You’re about to get pounded for offending my honor. You might as well get a little of the sweet along with the bitter.” <br />Before I could protest further, she kissed me. Long and warm and sweet, she kissed me. <br />I had never been kissed by anyone except my<br />mother. This was different! The fight, the dragon, Aahz, everything faded from my mind. I was lost in the wonder of that moment. <br />“Hey!” <br />A rough hand fell on my shoulder and pulled us apart. “Is this shrimp bothering you, lady?”<br />The person on the other end of that hand was no taller than I was, but he was twice as broad and had short, twisted tusks protruding from his mouth. His<br />cronies had fanned out behind him, effectively boxing me in against the dung-heap. <br />I looked at the girl. She shrugged and backed away. It looked like I was going to have to fight all of them. Me and the dragon. Terrific. <br />I remembered my skinning knife. It wasn’t much, but it was all I had. As casually as I could, I reached behind me and tugged at my shirt, trying to pull it up so I could get at the knife.<br />The knife promptly fell down inside my pants.<br />The wrecking crew started forward.<br />
