New York, NY Penguin Group: ROC Books, 1996. Paperback First Edition Thus; First Printing indicated. First Edition Thus; First Printing indicated. Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; the pages have tanned very slightly, due to aging; else flawless. The binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. 332pp. Distinctive Thomas Canty cover art. Mass Market Paperback. I give all three of the novels in this series my highest recommendation. These are intelligent, humorous reads. Baudino manages to maintain a breakneck pace throughout _without losing the reader_! Anyone who has read Mercedes Lackey and longed for something a bit more literate, or Douglas Adams and longed for something a bit more feminist, or James Joyce and longed for something a bit more fun, will find this a wonderful read. Baudino skewers the New Age community, sexist males, patriarchy, and pretentious would-be writers while providing us with characters like Bakbuk, the King's sworder, who can't decide if he is a she or not, and Kuz Aswani, ferret or man--not even he knows for sure. All this plus a wandering penis--surely there's something here for everyone
