Synopsis of The Spiral Labyrinth

It was bad enough when Henghis Hapthorn, Old Earth's foremost discriminator and die-hard empiricist, had to accept that the cosmos was shortly to rewrite its basic operating system, replacing rational cause-and-effect with detestable magic. Now he finds himself cast forward several centuries, stranded in a primitive world of contending wizards and hungry dragons, and without his magic-savvy alter ego. Worse, some entity with a will powerful enough to bend space and time is searching for him through the Nine Planes, bellowing "Bring me Apthorn!" in a voice loud enough to frighten demons.

Anyone who enjoys not only Vance's language and humor but also that of S.J. Perelman and P.G. Wodehouse will find Hughes a fit companion. -- Paul Di Filippo, Scifi.com
