This sequel to Dickson's minor classic The Dragon And The
George demonstrates once again that he's at his best when he's
writing humor. Gone is the unbearable pomposity of mega-turkeys like
The Final Encyclopedia and Wolf and Iron (RR#043). Instead we get a sort of tribute to
Pratt & De Camp's Incomplete Enchanter, as the displaced
20th-century grad student who's become the Baron of Riveroak in a
magical alternate England hares off to rescue the heir to the British
throne from the clutches of an evil sorcerer. Gently funny and lots
of fun, if you've read the prequel.
