Skeeve has decided, at long last, to come out of his self-imposed retirement and get back into the problem-solving biz. He confidently expected to walk in and take his rightful place as the head of M.Y.T.H., Inc. He didn't expect to have to face off against Aahz for the job.
With their friends lending help but showing no favorites, they start a not-so-friendly contest to see who will run the company by taking the next two cases to walk in the door -- which turn out to be opposite sides of the same case. Will the legendary partnership survive the battle, or will this be the end of a beautiful friendship?

An Unexpected
Apprentice - June 2007
When Tildi Summerbee's entire family is wiped out by the dark menace known as the thraiks, the smallfolk girl disguises herself as a boy and flees her comfortable home in the Quarters to take up her brother's apprenticeship to a human wizard named Olen. While in Olen's marvelous home, the gigantic Silvertree, she learns that the Great Book, a dangerous magical tome, has been stolen from its hiding place. A search party, under the leadership of the wizard Edynn, is formed to retrieve it before it can cause damage to the very fabric of reality. Tildi volunteers to join the group, as she is, through a fluke of coincidence, the only one among them who is immune to most of its effects. Edynn's group is not the only one hoping to find the Great Book. They must contend also with the Scholardom, and the unknown master of the villanous thraik.

Class Dis-Mythed, with
Robert Asprin - September 2005
It's the biggest myth in the universe that the Klahd magician known as the Great Skeeve is really great. Though he has become an inter-dimensional legend, Skeeve couldn't have done it without a lot of luck and a little help from his friends. And now they need the favor returned.
Aahz, Massha, Chumley and Markie (yes, Markie) have all sent Skeeve students to tutor in the art of practical magik. Never mind that Skeeve is supposed to be on sabbatical, trying to turn himself into a wizard to match the hype. What better way to learn than to teach? Only, Skeeve's students have something up their sleeves, and it may put all their newfound knowledge -- and their lives -- to the test.
