Eric (Discworld, #9; Rincewind #4) by Terry Pratchett



Invoked by a pubescent demonologist named Eric to satisfy his requests of eternal life, Master of the Universe, and the hottest babe ever by his side, Rincewind can't seem to prove that he is not, indeed, a demon. After all, he did appear when called. With no other choice but to try and fulfill Eric's demands until he can find a way of escape Rincewind leaps into another adventure of misfortune. Although Eric is ecstatic to finally be getting what he wants Rincewind knows that when things are going according to plan is when you should be the most worried; especially when one doesn't know who's plans are being accorded to.

With DEATH's attention aroused and weird happenings occurring more than usual in Ankh-Morpork it would seem that an incompetent wizard and a novice demonologist may be just the tip of the iceberg. For in the demon city of Pandemonium a devious overthrow of the King is being played out by the traditionalists who want to get rid of the new corporate look and return to the good old days when both demons and damned could enjoy a good torture and not have to endure the latest trend of punishment by boredom and Rincewind is their first step in their master plan.

As par the course, this is an excellent read full of wit and hilarity and I can guarantee that you will find yourself laughing as you read what has to be one of Pratchett's best titles in the series.
