Editorial Review:
Apprentice magician Skeeve, his scaly mentor Aahz and beautiful ex-assassin Tanda are back-and this time they're treasure hunting in a dimension that combines the Wild West with the vampire-cursed hills of Transylvania-where gold is common as dirt, and danger lurks behind every sagebrush.

Rating:  - If you are a Myth fan, skip this book
This book, as admitted in the foreward, was a simple tale to get Mr. Asprin "back into the swing of things" after a long hiatus of not working with teh Myth characters.
It shows.
It is simple.
And simple is not what attracts most readers to the Myth series.
As far as I can tell, the last solo installment of Myth did not lean on Myth-Ion Improbable in any way nor did the Myth Inc book that followed.
It is thorough unnecessary for enjoyment of later, ... Read More
Rating:  - I waited for this?
I got this book when it first came out and have finally muscled my way through it after putting it down several times. I have to say, it makes me sad. First I had to wonder about the editing, or even if it was edited at all. I mean a lot of there were what seemed to be a lot of typos. Tananda was replaced with Tanda and Klah for Klahd etc. But looking at reviews for the new books it seems that it was on purpose. I will spare people the gory details but this story falls flat on its face in a kiddie pool ... Read More
Rating: - A return to the past but not quite jelling yet
As Robert Asprin notes in his Forward, this book came about because of the long hiatus in the series. Apparently the author was distracted by other concerns and let eight years lapse before he was ready to tackle Skeeve, Aahz and the crew again; So, to shake off the dust, he created a new novel as a throwback in time to earlier in the career of the crew. That is why we see Skeeve back in his role as the gangly, uncoordinated, and apologetic apprentice rather than the successful CEO of M.Y.T.H. Inc.

Rating: - Skip This One
I am a die-hard Myth series fan, but I advise you to avoid this one like the plague. The originial Myth series was great because of its characters and its humor. This book is suppose to take place during the same timeframe, but it is jarringly out of place with the originials.
Reasons to avoid this book:
1. The Skeeve, Aahz, and Tananda that appear in this book are not their old selves. They lack the freshness and energy that made the old books a joy to read and re-read. Here, ... Read More
Rating: - I would rather have not ever read it
Yes, it really IS that bad! It's a total aberration amongst a group of great books that I really love.
