Another Fine Myth [Myth Adventures • 1] (1978) / novel by Robert Asprin: Skeeve was a magician's apprentice--until an assassin hired by an ancient enemy struck and his master was dead. Skeeve suddenly found himself alone with Aahz, a purple-tongued demon the old magician had summoned from another dimension as a practical joke just before he was killed. Aahz had lost his powers. Skeeve had lost his job. So together, they set out through a universe populated by Deveels (or devils), Imps, dragons, unicorns and more, looking for a way to get even...
Myth Conceptions [Myth Adventures • 2] (1981) / novel by Robert Asprin: In this tale of myth-adventure, Skeeve gets a job, with the aide of his mentor Aahz, as a court magician . Unfortunately, they get more than they bargained for; part of their job is to protect the kingdom's northern border from the invading Empire. When all hope is nearly lost, they return to the Bazaar at Deva and hire their own rag-tag army.
Myth Directions [Myth Adventures • 3] (1982) / novel by Robert Asprin: The Trophy was unique, no question. It was easily the ugliest object Skeeve had ever seen in any dimension. And before landing his job as Court Magician, young Skeeve had seen a thing or two. But the beautiful Tanda wanted it and, as a rule, whatever the beautiful Tanda wants, Tanda gets. When a girl (lushly curved, with a mane if light green hair) asks for a favour, a chap would have to possess a heart of stone (or a testosterone deficiency) to refuse. The problem is, getting it will take more than luck. It will take all the talents of a young but gifted magician, a scaley but canny Pervect, and a charming demon not above a little interdimensional thievery.
