Paul Armstead is your average American senior citizen and electrical engineer. He’s 61 years old, unremarkably unattractive, and a self-proclaimed science-fiction nut. He’s lived the American dream in drab, typical fashion without a single noteworthy event in his rather mundane life. So how does he end up fleeing from one end of the world to the other, dodging government dragnets, evil, nightmarish monsters known as the Oni, good wizards, bad wizards, beautiful women, spies, and wizardly spells? Well, it is entirely the genie’s fault….
This was truly fun. I can’t help but think some of the quotes should have been left to the reader as an exercise, because I’m that geeky and I enjoy that sort of thing. The ending was a bit of a let down, not because of what happens but because there’s no more to read! I would hope that the next one is just as exciting and enjoyable and I’ll be buying it on day of release, whenever that may be.
