The Incompleat Enchanter1 review
L Sprague De Camp And Fletcher Pratt

Sphere, 1979

Not Free SF Reader

A couple of scientific types think they can work magic out, and break it down to a system of equations. It isn't that simple though, and their travel destinations go wrong, with some mirth. These stories are definitely quite entertaining. Incomplete Enchanter : The Roaring Trumpet - Fletcher ...

Neal Stephenson

Spectra, 2000

An amazing, multi-faceted read

+ Great book, fun read

What an excellent book! I read this several years ago when I was still a high school student; I've read it at least four times since then. Every time I read it, I discover something new. There are a lot of issues approached in this book. It really is a gift that keeps on giving.

Still thoroughly enjoyable, with ...
