The Deveels of the Deva Bazaar — the canniest traders of all the dimensions — call him the Great Skeeve, although he owes that title to excellent p.r., mainly. He’s learned a few almost surefire spells from his scaly, green partner, Aahz, and he has Mob bodyguards, an apprentice magician, a troll, a trollop and a baby dragon ready to back him up if and when he blunders. He’s also very lucky. And in this trio of action-packed novels, Skeeve finds out just how far he can push his luck.
Myth-ing Persons. When thieves use Skeeve’s back door to escape into another dimension, he and Aahz have to pursue the fugitives and bring them back for Bazaar justice. Unfortunately, the door opens on Limbo, where vampires and werewolves enjoy a unique nightlife. Stuck in a perilous realm where the magic lines are so weak that a wizard has to hide behind makeup. Skeeve had better have something up his sleeve.
Little Myth Marker. When Skeeve has the bad luck to win at dragon poker, he’s saddled with a prize he never wanted — a little troublemaker named Markie, whose spell-weaking tantrums soon have the whole Bazaar pounding down Skeeve’s door demanding reparations. And just when he thinks things can’t get any worse, the local magicians hire a Character Assassin to destroy what little of his reputation is still intact!
M.Y.T.H. Inc. Link. While Skeeve, now President of the M.Y.T.H. Inc. Corp., struggles top get the hang of his new desk job, the others go off adventuring on their own. Guido, the Mob bodyguard, is hired by a Deveel named Bane to find out why his successful magic factory is losing money. Chumley the troll and his sister, the trollop Tananda, head for a pleasant dimension called Arcadia, working on what starts out as a simple collection job. The flamboyant and oversized Massha tries her hand at jazzing up a failing hotel. Aahz goes to the aid of an old friend, a demon hunter turned magician. And Gleep the dragon, guarding a valuable cargo with Nunzio, has ample time to think about Skeeve, whom he regards as his personal pet.
