 Review
short novel or novella telling the story of a powerfully talented, but completely untrained wizard taken from the ruins of his enchanter-emperor father's castle and brought up on earth (as the acceptable alternative to infanticide) unaware of his ancestry or powers.
he grows up to be an adept of a kind: and becomes an immensely powerful guitarist, fronting a rock band and increasingly coming into and using - not to say abusing - his mental powers...

esteban maroto's fifty-odd b+w illustrations suffer greatly from being shot down to standard (~ uk a format) merkin mmpb size page: if you like this, it's prob'ly worth hunting down the larger format tpb or the merkin sf book club h/cvr edition (the limited edition de luxe h/cvr's liable to prove a little on the expensive side).
