Publisher Description

You've heard of Faust - this is Eric. There's a difference.

Eric is 14, lives on the famed and magical Discworld, and is the first ever demonology hacker. Fortunately, he doesn't succeed in raising any devils, but he does raise Rincewind (the most incompetent wizard in the universe) and the Luggage (the world's most dangerous travel accessory).

When Eric turns them loose on an unprotected world, the idea is that Rincewind will grant him his three rather adolescent wishes. You know, the usual three - live forever, rule the world, meet the most beautiful woman who ever lived. Simple, really.

Getting marooned at dawn of Time, changing the future, and meeting history's most embarrassing god is only the start. Creating life on the Discworld is a mere detail. Because Rincewind ends up going through Hell. Literally.

"It's short and has more going on than Rincewind just running away from everything, which makes it one of the two decent Rincewind novels. The solid parody of Faust and cutting satire of modern business (and this before Dilbert!) make for an excellent book that doesn't overstay its welcome."

    " Rincewind! I wondered where you had gone to! And demonologist Eric thinks you're a demon summoned to grant him wishes? Oh, that can't bode well... "

    " (Genre:fantasy) In this early discworld novel, 14 year old Eric tries to summon a demon with the hopes of controlling the demon's power. Unfortunately, he summons the bumbling wizard Rincewind instead (and the luggage!), and none of his wishes are turning out the way he had hoped. Entertaining read with some very funny moments, this is classic Pratchett. "

    " I'm going to have to give Terry Pratchett another go because this book was mostly disorienting. I got some of the jokes, but I'm guessing this isn't the best book to jump into the series. "

    " I guess this was released as a stand alone book, i read it as part of a collection of rincewind novels and at first thought this was a novella or something. didn't seem as finished as most of his books. not horrible, but not at the top of his game either. "
