Product Description
Book Description
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.
About the Author
When my teacher/mentor Aahz grumbles or rants about my being stupid or having done something stupid, I make a big show of being apologetic, but it really doesn't bother me all that much. Read the first page

1.0 out of 5 stars
I would rather have not ever read it,
By Parksy (Eastern Seaboard, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Myth-ion Improbable (Mass Market Paperback)
Yes, it really IS that bad! It's a total aberration amongst a group of great books that I really love.

We Mythed the Series Too Much,
By jrmspnc (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Myth-Ion Improbable (Paperback)
It's been many, many years since I finished the last page of the last Myth book, reeling from the cliffhanger ending. As the years went by, the whole series faded into dim memory. So, when I began to read Myth-Ion Improbable I found myself trying to compare it to . . . what? Was the Myth series really as good as I remember it being? Ultimately, I gave up trying to fit this one into the rest of the series and decided to evaluate it on its own merits, such as they are.Asprin gives us an interesting, if poorly developed, plot involving cow vampires in a Western-style universe (sort of a spoiler there, but it's fairly obvious well before Skeeve figures it out). There are some amusing bits here, but only a few rise to the level of actual knee-slapping. What we end up with is a short novel that can be read in a couple of hours without in any way energizing or taxing the brain cells. Pure, mindless, harmless fluff. If you haven't read any of the Myth books, don't start with this one as you'll be left wondering what the big deal is. If you're a huge Myth fan, avoid this one, too; you will no doubt end up enraged like so many other reviewers. If, however, you remember the Myth series fondly but not passionately you could do much worse than this one.
4.0 out of 5 stars
weakest in the series,
By adead_poet@hotmail.com "adead_poet@hotmail.com" (Beaumont, tx USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Myth-ion Improbable (Mass Market Paperback)
Myth-ion Improbable is the weakest of the Myth books. That's not saying much though, since the series as a whole is such a great collection of books. This is the only one that I give four stars to. I think it is because it had been so long since Asprin had written a Myth book, and he had to refind his rhythm. And this book interrupts the sequence (it is book 11, but it takes place between 3 & 4). Asprin seems to have to stretch a little with this episode, which he hasn't had to do in any of the others. But don't let me give you the impression that this is a substandard book, because it isn't. It's a great book too. And I'm glad he wrote it.
