Product Description

Asmodeus Mogart was not a bad fellow, as demons go. Having gotten in trouble back in the home office, he had been assigned to duty on Earth. There he toiled, doing the kinds of things demons do and turning into something of a drunk.
Then a rogue asteroid threatened to crash into Earth and destroy all life on the planet -- demons included! There had to be a better way.
Mac Walters and Jill McCullough, holding a private wake for their world in a Reno bar, were more than startled when a strange-looking little drunk told them they could save the world.
All they had to do was enter five alternate universes and steal a demon-guarded jewel in each. Clearly, the man was crazy.
But they had nothing better to do than go along with the gag. Then they each found themselves, naked and alone, on a hostile alien world!

2.0étoiles sur 5 The Means Just Don't Quite Justify the End, Mai 18 2004
I found this book in a used book store and figured I could not go wrong after spending $2.48 for it. I enjoyed the book until the end. The ending was commonplace and it obliterated the entertaining buildup. The characters were well developed, especially Asmodeus Mogart! The imagery was vivid and the humor was always on time. The pacing was a little off-kilter: at some points the story would zoom by at breakneck speeds; but at odd moments it would slow down and give you a kind of "literary whiplash".

So had the ending not been so horrible, I would have given the book 3 stars. But as it were, the ending was so wretchedly unoriginal it destroyed the rest of the book. I got the impression that Chalker might have just been so tired of writing the book that he just wanted to end it ASAP . . . no matter how!

Notwithstanding the two stars, I would still recommend a glance at this book because the beginning and middle were quite amusing and the book is short enough to take the chance. . . but only if you are a forgiving person. You need to be to overlook the ending. If you are the type of person who absolutely cannot forgive a horrible ending, skip this book.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Engrossing, funny, and interesting characters, Juil 4 1999
Par Un client
I first recieved this book as a gift when I was 6 or 7 years old. The cover of the devil scared me and I put it away in a drawer and forgot about it. Years later, as an early teen-ager, I read, and reread and reread it so often, I wore out the cover.

Its a great sci-fi story about populating different worlds and energies, interesting characters, and humourous situations. This is the one that got me into pop sci-fi. I think its his best, but that may be because it was the first one of his many I read.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Made me a sci-fi fan, Sep 17 1998
Par mindymw@hotmail.com (Hillsboro, Oregon) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This is the first book in this genre I ever read when I was a kid (12). It opened a whole new world to me and I still think it's number one of all the books I've ever read. I wish there were parts 2, 3, 4.... If you can ever find this book, it is definitely worth reading. -Mindy
