"Well,
I'm Massha," I said, "and my partner over there is Vic."
Hysterium
nearly fell over his desk in his eagerness to shake Vic's hand. My
partner was dressed stylishly, if sedately by my standards, in a leisure
suit with a turtleneck and ankle-high boots. His whole outfit was in
soft earth tones, and it was clear the Deveel had him pegged as the
normal member of the twosome. Call it a mischievous streak, but I just
couldn't let it stand at that.
"Actually,
Vic isn't one of our regular staff. He's a free-lancer we bring in
occasionally as a specialist."
"A
specialist?...Are you an interior decorator?"
My partner
gave him a tight smile.
"What
Vic here is tryin' to say," I told the Deveel, as casually as I
could, "is that he's a vampire."

Synopsis |
|
M.Y.T.H. Inc. is hired to
solve six different cases. Skeeve sends one or more members of his team
to solve these cases. In Guido's Tale, Guido and Bunny team up to solve
the mystery of disappearing goods from a factory. In Chumley's Tale,
Chumley chases down Tananda who is trying to collect on a debt that is
outstanding. In Massha's Tale, Massha and Vic team up to revamp a hotel
that is about to open into a colorful hotspot.
In Aahz's Tale, Aahz and
Skeeve team up to help Quigley, who is having a bit of trouble breaking
his contract as court magician on Jahk. And finally, in Gleep's Tale,
yes...Gleep's Tale, Gleep and Nunzio team up to protect a shipment that
everyone seems to want to get their hands on.
M.Y.T.H.
Inc. Link is the seventh book
of the Myth Adventures series by Robert Asprin. These books are incredibly funny fantasy tales that normally
revolve
around the lives of Skeeve and Aahz. In this book, as with all books
that have a "M.Y.T.H. Inc." in the title, the story will be
told from one of the other character's perspective, other than Skeeve.

Review |
|
This is the first of the new
type of Myth books. It takes a little while to adjust to the new point
of view of this story. After I got used to it, I found that I did like
this point of view, but not as much as when the story is told by Skeeve.
The hardest time adjusting to this new point of view was when I was
reading Aahz's Tale.
Since it was Aahz and Skeeve, I kept forgetting that
Aahz was telling the story and thinking it was Skeeve. The most
surprising story is Gleep's Tale. Gleep is an unexpectedly intelligent dragon. But since his vocal
cords that will allow him to speak human speech will not develop for
another 200 years, he cannot say anything other than "gleep".
I found this tale to be the most entertaining, because of the reactions
to Gleep's actions by Nunzio.
Overall, M.Y.T.H.
Inc. Link is a nice addition to the
Myth series, but I do prefer the Skeeve point of view.
I rated this book a 7 out
of 10. |
