Une approche assez extraordinaire de la liberté des hommes face à leur destin. J'ai adoré le clin d'œil au monde Lovecraftien à un moment donné du récit. Un univers multimonde bien ficelé et dans lesquelles les aventures sont très très agréables à lire. J'ai adoré l'originalité fus passionnné par sa lecture dès les premières pages. A flawed, sometimes silly novel, but enjoyable nonetheless. The writing is not fabulous, but the story is fun and original. The author's enthusiasm for a good story rescues the novel from tedium. Reads more like an outline (or screenplay) than a finished novel, but the outline is a good (and quick) read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

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! Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

It was just a few pages in before people started possessing other people's bodies. And the expected Chalker standard magical gender transformation never happened, but one character DID get SRS by way of a flint knife after losing a primitive duel. Because one of the terms of the duel was that he would become "no man no more". And there was plenty of magical mind control. It's all so very Chalker...
I probably would have really enjoyed this book a decade or two ago. But as it stands now, I think giving it three stars is maybe being a little generous. ( )
