If you're intrigued by the fantastical mixed with humor, Tom Holt delivers a double dose of delight.

Pair that with 'Faust Among Equals,' offering a witty, bureaucratic nightmare of underworld proportions, and you're in for a rollicking read that's equal parts clever satire and fantastical escapade. Twists on history and myth abound, this omnibus is for those who love a laugh with their legends.
