Dog Wizard: bk. 3 (A Del Rey book) - Softcover

Antryg Windrose is a refugee from his world. He’s a Los Angeles bartender by night, a tortoise-measuring eccentric by day and he tells everyone he meets that he’s a wizard in exile. No-one believes him, except Joanna the programmer who loves him and knows the truth.

But when Joanna disappears, after speaking of strange, troubled dreams, Antryg knows that he must return to the Citadel in his own realm. The Council of Wizards want him back and they are using Joanna as bait. For someone has tampered with the Void, unlocking Gates to inhuman realities. Monsters are escaping from other dimensions. And an ancient, evil sorcery is conjuring unspeakable horrors that threaten the very fabric of the universe.

“Hambly continues to be one of the most interesting – and subversive – writers of modern fantasy ... supremely original ... mystery, offbeat fantasy, psychological novel, 'Dog Wizard' is anything but a standard exercise in sword and sorcery”
LOCUS

“A truly magical prose style, and characters with insight and dept trademark Barbara Hambly’s works. An enviable and intricate talent – I never miss any of her works. 'Dog Wizard' is witty, tragic, brilliant – among the best and most striking of her novels”
JANNY WURTS
