The Secular Wizard
この電子書籍について
spurned the rule of Evil. But turmoil began to spread, even across the
border, when the new king also resisted Good! In nearby Merovence, Lord
Wizard Matt Mantrell donned a disguise and set off to investigate--never
dreaming that Latruria's sinister prime minister was mobilizing his
minions...
"Minstrel" Matt sang his way south, dodging deadly enemies and music
critics alike. He was teamed with a lovesick lad, menaced by a
manticore, haunted by a ghost from Greece, and swept along in a flood of
youngsters fleeing the provinces for the "glamor" of the city. But
when they all washed up in the capital, harsh reality awaited them, not
gold-paved streets.
And even harsher reality awaited Matt. The Lord Wizard faced the
ultimate test of magic--and he would need a lot of help to pass!

著者について
Christopher Stasheff teacher, thespian, techie, and author of science fiction & fantasy novels. One of the pioneers of "science fantasy," his career spans four decades, 44 novels (including translations into Czech, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese), 29 short stories, and seven 7 anthologies. His novels are famous for their humor (and bad puns), exploration of comparative political systems, and philosophical undertones.
He has always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and has tried to compensate by teaching college. When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He tends to pre-script his life, but can't understand why other people never get their lines right. This causes a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children. He writes novels because it's the only way he can be the director, the designer, and all the actors too.
