This is a Gary Jennings book-- but for completists only,
By
This review is from: The Lively Lives of Crispin Mobey (Hardcover)
Gabriel Quyth is a pseudonym of Gary Jennings, author of the vastly superior historical novels "Aztec," "Journeyer," "Raptor," "Sow the Seeds of Hemp, "The Terrible Teague Bunch," and "Aztec Autumn." This book is a fairly labored attempt at satire concerning a bumbling missionary and his adventures in far-flung locales. If you love bad puns and obvious humor (as well as references to popular figures from the mid-eighties), read this. If you're a big Jennings fan, you may wish to pick this up just to see what he was like when he was being "funny," but you'd do better to read any of the above-mentioned novels. Entertaining historical romance with plenty of sex, violence, revenge, and exacting historical detail was his true metier.
