The Outsorcerer's Apprentice

Mmmm.
Try
telling
that
to
an
army
of
belligerent
goblins.
Or
the
Big
Bad
Wolf.
Or
a
professional
dragons
layer.
Who
is
looking
after
their
well-being?
Who
gives
a
damn
about
their
intolerable
working
conditions,
lack
of
adequate
health
insurance,
and
terrible
coffee
in
the
canteen?
Thankfully,
with
access
to
an
astonishingly
diverse
workforce
and
limitless
natural
resources,
maximizing
revenue
and
improving
operating
profit
has
never
really
been
an
issue
for
the
one
they
call
"the
Wizard."
Until
now.
Because
now
a
perfectly
good
business
model
--
based
on
sound
fiscal
planning,
entrepreneurial
flair,
and
only
one
or
two
of
the
infinite
parallel
worlds
that
make
up
our
universe
--
is
about
to
be
disrupted
by
a
young
man
not
entirely
aware
of
what's
going
on.
There's
also
a
slight
risk
that
the
fabric
of
reality
will
be
torn
to
shreds.
You
really
do
have
to
be
awfully
careful
with
these
things.

Notă biografică
Tom
Holt
was
born
in
London
in
1961.
At
Oxford
he
studied
bar
billiards,
ancient
Greek
agriculture
and
the
care
and
feeding
of
small,
temperamental
Japanese
motorcycle
engines;
interests
which
led
him,
perhaps
inevitably,
to
qualify
as
a
solicitor
and
emigrate
to
Somerset,

he
specialized
in
death
and
taxes
for
seven

He
lives
in
Chard,
Somerset,
with
his
wife
and
daughter.
Recenzii
"Entertaining....
Holt
has
a
zany
humor
that
will
appeal
to
fans
of
Terry
Pratchett
and
Christopher
Moore."—Library
Journal
on
The
Outsorcerer's
Apprentice
"Holt adds to his repertoire of comedic sf, one of the most difficult genera acts to master. Theo is an engaging hero; his brilliance is counteracted by his laziness and his compassion, which is matched by his sense of survival. Place this title alongside Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman'sGood Omens, Pratchett's "Discworld" series, and the absurdist works of mainstream authors such as John Barth and Gilbert Sorrentino."—Library Journal (Starred Review) on Doughnut
"A light read from the prolific humorist; a romp round the multiverse."—SFX on Doughnut
"Like the deep-fried snack after which it's named, this sci-fi novel is sweet and fun."—Sun (UK) on Doughnut
"Blonde Bombshellis a clever, funny, tirelessly inventive, apocalyptic leg-hump of a book."—Christopher Moore, New York Times bestselling author
"Tom Holt'sDoughnutpresents a roller-coaster ride through the world of physics and the origins of the universe."—Library Journal
"One for physicists as well s Krispy Kreme-loving policemen."—T3 on Doughnut
