Synopsis

THE WARLOCK'S SON TAKES OFF, AND A NEW ADVENTURE IS LAUNCHED!

His father's a warlock; his mother, a witch; together, they’re the most powerful wizards in the world -- or so it seems on the planet Gramarye, where modern technology is the ultimate "magic." Now their son Magnus Gallowglass, tired of standing in his parents' shadow, is leaving home -- in a starship driven by the brain of the robo-horse Fess -- in search of fame and fortune. It's one small step for science -- one giant leap for wizardry!

But for someone raised on a medieval planet, the modern world is strange and confusing place, full of treacherous people and unexpected dangers. Is Magnus well on his way to creating his own legend? Or destined for trouble, failure, and an early grave?

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Christopher Stasheff was a teacher, thespian, techie, and author of science fiction & fantasy novels. One of the pioneers of "science fantasy," his career spaned four decades, 44 novels (including translations into Czech, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese), 29 short stories, and seven anthologies. His novels are famous for their humor (and bad puns), exploration of comparative political systems, and philosophical undertones. Chris always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality, and tried to compensate by teaching college. When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He tended to pre-script his life, but couldn't understand why other people never got their lines right. This caused a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children. He wrote novels because it was the only way he could be the director, the designer, and all the actors too.
