A Friendly Game …

 

 

It was just an innocent game of dragon poker. But soon Ogres were high, unicorns wild, and the pot was half a million!

 

 

Skeeve bluffs his way into a high-stakes game of dragon poker-and wins! But now he's left with Markie, a pint-sized IOU left by a player who went broke. She conjures up a house full of trouble every time she tries to cast a spell. And now the dragon poker champion has challenged Skeeve to a game-with a pot of half a million.

 

 

 

Myth-Chievous …

 

Skeeve, magician extraordinaire, and his apprentice Massha were sauntering their way through the Bazaar at Diva. Markie, the little girl a gambler has left with Skeeve as a "marker" after a game of dragon poker, was in a nearby tent, trying on some clothes with Bunny, another female member of Skeeve's retinue.

 

"Hasn't Markie been well-behaved?" Skeeve asked Massha. "She said she was in the third grade of Elementary School, even though she calls it Elemental School..."

 

"ELEMENTAL SCHOOL!" Massha gasped in horror. "We've got to get her back home...QUICK!"

 

Just then, Markie was kicked out of the tent by its owner. Markie stared at the tent--and suddenly dozens of booths were destroyed by a powerful wind.

 

"Markie blew her cork and summoned up an air elemental, like you learn to do at Elemental School," Massha said grimly ...

 

 

 

 

Review Quotes:

 

 

“Tension getting to you? Take an Asprin! … His humor is broad and grows out of the fantasy world or dimensions in which his characters operate.” –Fantasy Review

 

 

 “Give yourself the pleasure of working through the series. But not all at once; you’ll wear out your funny bone.” –The Washington Times

 

 

“Asprin’s major achievement as a writer—brisk pacing, wit, and a keen satirical eye.” –Booklist

 

 

“All the MYTH books are hysterically funny.” –Analog

 

 

“Breezy, pun-filled fantasy in the vein of Piers Anthony’s Xanth series … A hilarious bit of froth and frolic.” – Library Journal

 

 

“One of the finest blends of fantasy and humor ever written.” –Baryon Online

 

  

About the Author:

 

Robert (Lynn) Asprin was the legendary creator of the long-running Myth series in which fantasy adventure meets comedy in a delightful pandemonium of magic and adventure. Asprin’s Phule's Company saga, with its similarly irreverent look at military science fiction, was a New York Times bestseller. And with Lynn Abbey, he created the landmark, hugely-popular and long-running Thieves’ World fantasy series. A fan favorite at SF conventions and an active participant in Society for Creative Anachronism mayhem, Bob passed away in 2008.
