Skeeve is an apprentice for a famed magician Gargin. The magician is demonstrating his ability to bring up a demon from another dimension when a strange man appears and kills him. The magician manages to kill the assassin just as he dies - but that leaves Skeeve alone with a live demon. Surprisingly, the demon doesn’t eat him, but is very polite and explains he is a magician named Aahz from another dimension, called Perv, making him Pervect, and he is a good friend of Gargin. They summon each other as “demons” and act scary to convince people of their vast powers. Due to a practical joke by Gargin, Aahz has lost his magical powers. Together Aahz and Skeeve start a journey to find why someone killed Gargin and to restore Aahz’s powers. What follows is a fun romp through a fantasyland with many strange creatures. Besides Perverts, ah Pervects, Deveels and Trollops are encountered. A very fun and light book where humor works pretty well - not an easy task to achieve! I must look at the other parts of the series.
200 pp.
