Below my short book review on "Myth-Nomers and Impervections" by Robert Asprin.
In Myth-Nomers and Impervections Aahz has quit the company because he feels as though he is nothing but dead-weight since he lacks his magical powers. He returns to his home dimension, Pervect. Skeeve cannot bear to think of losing his mentor without at least one try at keeping him on the team. But Pervect isn't exactly friendly territory. The Pervects have well earned their reputation as a less than friendly race. The city Skeeve arrives in is much like an overdeveloped New York. Yes, that much of a mess. Skeeve quickly realizes he has no idea how to find Aahz, so much of his time is spent figuring out how to cope in this strange world and making odd new friends. I must say, if my mother were anything like Aahz's, I'd rather go traveling among the dimensions than stay anywhere near her. Come to think of it, if I could travel the dimensions, I probably would no matter what my mother was like. You know how that goes. Little Myth Marker Take my advice... if a Deveel invites you to sit in on a game of Dragon Poker, don't accept unless you really understand the rules. Skeeve sits in on a game at the start of Little Myth Marker, despite not understanding the game. Remarkably, he wins. When one player tries to use a marker, the others protest, but Skeeve generously offers to cover the marker himself. Should've checked on what the marker was first. Markie is the marker's name, and she's a little girl. Sweet, innocent... sure. But she isn't Skeeve's only problem. The Mob has decided that a chieftain of his standing needs a moll, and has generously provided one. Worst of all, jealous competitors have decided to try to ruin Skeeve by hiring the most notorious Character Assassin of all, the Axe, to take Skeeve's business down. This one isn't quite as funny as the previous books, but it definitely has its moments.
