Story4.5 out of 5 stars 466
Timothy Walter Bolton - better known as Timmy - has spent most of his life as a necromancer. When he isn't terrorising his enemies, he's plotting inside his castle, which is built on top of lightless chasms filled with nameless horrors and beings of a generally malevolent and megalomaniacal nature. But after one of his latest creations, a zombie hydra-dragon-bear, tries to eat him, he decides that maybe it's time to find a new, less dangerous, career.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 163
Harmon Tomeral wanted nothing more than to go to space. Sent to an orphanage when his parents were killed in a sandstorm, the odds were stacked against him. Despite that, he made it to the academy and graduated in the top 10 percent of his class...only to find out the fleet did what it wanted, regardless of regulations, and he came from the wrong planet. He didn’t give up his dream, though, because where there’s a will, there’s a loophole, and Harmon and his friends found their loophole in the Top Fleet Marine competition - the winner would get 100,000 credits....

They couldn’t afford a ship, much less the cost of registering one...and now they need an entire fleet! Harmon Tomeral, along with friends Clip, Zerith, and the artificial intelligence Jayneen, were heroes. Having brought back the battlecruiser Salvage Title from an unknown system, they defeated the alien Squilla and saved their home system of Tretrayon, although they lost the computer holding Jayneen in the battle. But the Squilla are coming back. And, not only are they coming, they have also recruited the alien Krift to help them destroy the Tretrayon system.

They couldn’t afford a ship or a fleet...and now they have a whole system to defend! Harmon Tomeral, along with friends Clip, Zerith, and the artificial intelligence Jayneen, were heroes. They’d brought back the battlecruiser Salvage Title from an unknown system and had defeated the alien Squilla and saved their home system of Tretrayon, not once, but twice. But now they have a system of their own, and the Bith are about to open it up to the galaxy at large.

Publisher's Summary
"Guxx Unfufadoo is my name. And killing wizards is my game!" Thus spoke the dreaded rhyming demon, come from the Netherhells, to munch a bunch of the great Ebenezum.
Only it didn't quite work out that way. Ebenezum lived, cursed by Guxx with a mighty curse that he should henceforth be allergic to magic.
So Ebenezum and his hapless apprentice Wuntvor must journey to the City of Forbidden Delights to seek a cure. They find the road fraught with peril and dark magic, from tap-dancing dragons to enchanted chickens, slobbering trolls, winsome witches and sinister shrubbery.
It's up to Wunt to see them through, to utter the sounds of power and speak the spells that will insure their health, wealth and continued life. If only he could remember the words...

Great for younger fantasy fans
I read this and loved it as a kid. As an adult, it seemed too juvenile. The concepts are still funny, and I would highly recommend this to parents getting something for the kids. I had a hard time nailing down what I didn't like about A Malady of Magicks this time around. I don't think that I was particularly a fan of the narration. Definitely listen to the sample prior to spending the credit.

How a bad read can kill a great book
I can still remember the first time I read this series after getting it from an old book club that I belonged to. I found it hilarious then, and still do, and I went on to get all 6 books of this wonderful series.
The problem with this purchase is frankly, the reading. The only voice Goya sounds believable in is that of Ebenezum. Unfortunately, its not Ebenezum telling the story. Many times, the voice inflection did not match the emotion, and plain and simple voice inflection as to if a statement was a question or not, was out of match. Goya was simply out of touch with the characters true identity and mannerisms from on the onset.
This is simply a case where a great book cannot be enjoyed for the lack of effort in its story telling.
