Sobre l'autor

Robert Lynn Asprin was born June 28, 1946 in St. Johns, Michigan to Daniel and Lorraine Asprin. Asprin attended the University of Michigan from 1964-65. In 1965, Robert served in the U.S. Army until mid-1966. Asprin then began a career as an accountant, moving up to cost accountant in a small mostra'n més subsidiary of the Xerox Corporation in Ann Arbor in 1976. In 1975, Asprin began working upon a science-fiction novel called Cold Cash War. Asprin sold this idea to St. Martin's Press and soon found himself a published writer. When other publishers approached him for a second novel, Asprin revealed that he had written up a draft of a comedy-fantasy work originally entitled The Demon and I, but they felt that he shouldn't stray far from the science-fiction of his first work. So Asprin began work on The Bug Wars. While working on The Bug Wars, Asprin was approached by Donning Publishing, and asked if he had a submission for their new publishing house, Starblaze. Asprin showed them The Demon and I, which Donning quickly accepted. At the last minute the title was changed to the familiar Another Fine Myth, which became quite popular. With that, Asprin quit his job and started his career as a fulltime freelance writer. Asprin wrote and edited over 50 books. He died of a myocardial infarction at home in his bed on May 22, 2008.

Myth-Gotten Gains de Jody Lynn Nye

Reading Myth-Gotten Gains, one of the later books Robert Asprin wrote with Jody Lynn Nye, I wondered what Terry Pratchett thought of him. We know that Asprin died while reading a Pratchett novel in 2008. As far as I know, they never got together to share a pun or two. Asprin started publishing a few years before Pratchett but had a fallow period in the nineties when Pratchett was reaching his stride. Their fictional worlds share the idea that our muggle dimension bleeds over into the livelier realms of fantasy. Both had fun with interdimensional puns. Discworld had a fad called Music with Rocks In. Asprin gives you a groaner from an old TV ad. When the Shaor Ming nuns tell Aahz that their good works and prayers exempted them from taxes and fees, Aahz quips, “So nobody is supposed to squeeze the Shaor Ming?” The nuns, of course, don’t get it. Pratchett’s humor has depths that Asprin seldom reaches, but as a Catskill comic might say, funny is funny. So enjoy.… (més)

M.Y.T.H. Inc. in Action (Myth-Adventures) de Robert Asprin

Barely 3 stars. Not nearly as funny as the earlier books. The plot went nowhere and the characters vacillated between smart and ridiculously inept.

Kinda cute quick read, but only for die-hard fans of the series. After the first book, the rest are pretty shoddily written.

Aftermath: Thieves' World, Book 10 de Robert Lynn Asprin

A scattering of short stories- a couple good most just passable- not really gripping, surprising or challenging
That being said I’m not current on the series
