Dancing Gods: Part Two (Vengeance of the Dancing Gods & Songs of the Dancing God s) (The Dancing Gods , Part 2) [Mass Market Paperback]

Jack L. Chalker (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 30, 1996 | Series: The Dancing Gods , Part 2

A FEW ALTERATIONS
Throckmorton P. Ruddygore, master wizard, had troubles--again!
Ruddygore had defeated the Dark Baron and exiled him from the magical realm of Husaquahr to Earth. But he hadn't counted on the Baron's using an earthly computer to create even more effective spells.
Of course, the Baron couldn't use those spells. But the forces of Hell soon sent him a second-rank wizard who could--and together they worked a scam so that Ruddygore couldn't cross the Sea of Dreams to deal with the Baron directly. Now the Baron was developing a scheme that would surely result in Armageddon before its time.
Once again Marge the fairy and Joe the barbarian were called upon to do the dirty work. They had to return to their home world and stop the Baron--if they could . . .
And that would be only the beginning of their assignment!
"A damn fine storyteller . . . Chalker is a master."
--Orson Scott Card

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Great Fantasy Books, February 26, 2009

This review is from: Dancing Gods: Part Two (Vengeance of the Dancing Gods & Songs of the Dancing God s) (The Dancing Gods , Part 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I have both books that have two novels in one. I had my books for almost 10 years, and every two years I go back and read them. They really are great stories. Marge is a cute little fairy, and Joe is this big hulking barbarian. I saw one review that said, "Just go with it". And if you do,you will get sucked into Ruddygore's world in no time. Good Reading

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, fast reading, odd concepts, September 25, 2003

This review is from: Dancing Gods: Part Two (Vengeance of the Dancing Gods & Songs of the Dancing God s) (The Dancing Gods , Part 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a GREAT series from "The River of the Dancing Gods" to "Demons of the Dancing Gods" to "Vengance of the Dancing Gods". If you read those three and like them a lot, just go back to "River of the Dancing Gods", do not pass GO, do not buy "Songs of the Dancing Gods" (the fantasy fades into more drama than you want with a series like this), just go back to "River of the Dancing Gods" and read the trilogy again. I love thse books and recommend them to everyone I know. JACK, IF YOU'RE READING THIS, I HART THOSE BOOKS SOOOO MUCH.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Smoothest Fantasy Series I've ever read!, June 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dancing Gods: Part Two (Vengeance of the Dancing Gods & Songs of the Dancing God s) (The Dancing Gods , Part 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

Litterally...smooth. There's nothing complicated about this series. This is one of those types that you just sit down and say "I really could care less." and start reading. It isn't deep. These were the two major emotions it set off in me: that feeling when you were an adventurous kid, wanting to run down a hill with a big sword to clobber some big mean monster so you could save the most beautiful girl (who you knew would want you in return), and WHAT IN THE WORLD COULD POSSIBLY COME NEXT. Don't try to outthink it, even though you might be able to. Don't go into it with expectations, they probably won't be met. Just read it with a smile and you won't be let down!
