Dr. Marvin Brewster is a genius working for a corporation that supports him in researching whatever he wants as they make a lot of money off of his patents. Brewster has been working for quite some time on his latest secret project, a time machine. When he goes for a test drive, instead of going back in time, he reaches a parallel universe where magic exists. Brewster's scientific expertise makes it look like he's a wizard in this world - the only problem is that he's not a member of the wizard's guild! This was a fast read for me. There is a good sense of humor throughout and a few amusing instances of breaking the fourth wall. The one thing that really annoyed me is that I felt it should've gotten further than it did - I really wanted to see Brewster meet up with the wizards of this parallel world, but the book never got there and instead is cut off too quickly with the last sentence asking the reader to continue the tale in The Inadequate Adept. I vacillated quite a while between 2.5 and 3 stars, finally giving it 3 stars because I do want to know what happens next. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Reluctant Sorcerer (book 1)
Magic Is Alive, Science Is Afoot....Trying to discover time travel, absent-minded genius Dr. Marvin Brewster accidentally transports himself to a parallel universe where magic really works ... a land that resembles medieval England, but is populated by leprechauns, virgin-hating unicorns, coffee drinking beatnik vampire elves, rapping Rastafarian grunge dwarves, philosophically musing dragons, ambulatory vegetation, bumbling outlaws, gorgeous brigand queens, cursed were-princes and evil wizards. In a world where science is unknown, Brewster's knowledge results in his being mistaken for a sorcerer ... but the real sorcerers have a powerful, exclusive guild, and Brewster's not a member. As he searches for his missing time machine, Brewster sees no harm in the locals thinking he's a wizard, but the Grand Director of the Sorcerer's Guild is out to find this interloper and learn the secret of the strange device that he arrived in....
