Description:

SUMMARY: Revolution is in the air. The king's court sorcerer is being eyed with suspicion. Not for dabbling in the black arts...not for consorting with a demon...not for having a dragon as a pet...not even for being mobbed up. But for the greatest crime of all: raising taxes. Who is this terrible tyrant? None other than Skeeve the Great. Oh, how the mighty have fallen... EDITORIAL REVIEW: The long wait is finally over! Things are not well in the kingdom… While Skeeve and Aahz are preoccupied with the aftermath of Gleep’s shooting, the M.Y.T.H. Inc. crew faces its biggest challenge yet—not one, but multiple challenges to the king and his court sorcerer! Word on the street is that the kingdom is under the control of a mighty sorcerer. It’s obvious that this magician dabbles in the black arts: He consorts with demons. He has a dragon for a pet. He’s connected to the criminal underground, trading political influence for their assistance in keeping the populace under control. And for most citizens, all this could be overlooked, except that this villain has committed the greatest crime possible: he’s raised taxes! Clearly something has to be done! The citizens are beginning to ponder and mutter, both individually and in groups, about how this tyrant can be brought down. And while they vary greatly in skill and intelligence, certainly the sheer volume of them virtually ensures the eventual downfall of the scoundrel that’s currently growing fat off the kingdom…the man called Skeeve the Great. Can the M.Y.T.H. Inc. gang protect Skeeve from these attacks and still convince him that everything is business as usual? **New!** In a last-minute change in plans, Something M.Y.T.H. Inc. will now also include a brand new short story by Robert Asprin and Jody Lynn Nye! SUMMARY: Revolution is in the air. The king's court sorcerer is being eyed with suspicion.
