Myth Directions by Robert Lynn Asprin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Funny book in the Myth series, this one's a take on sports as Aahz, Skeeve and some of their friends from the first two books take on the cities of Ta-Hoe and Veygus to rescue Tananda. Along the way we meet trolls and trollops and a pervert or prevect. First published in 1982 some of the quotes used as chapter headers may be lost on younger readers, from semi famous people of the day like Doug Hemming, Howard Cosell, but there still entertaining puns.
"As any magician will tell you-Myth Directions is the secret of a successful steal." -D. HEMMING
"Old heroes never die; they reappear in sequels" M. MOORCOCK
"War may be Hell. .. but it's good for business!" -THE ASSOCIATION FOR MERCHANTS, MANUFACTURERS, AND MORTICIANS
"-Or was it unlock the safe then swim to the surface?" -H. HOUDINI
I miss Bob Asprin he died much too young, if you enjoy a silly fantasy now and again this may be just the book for you.
