Publisher's Summary

Q: How does a shanghaied computer geek conquer all the forces of darkness and win the love of the most beautiful witch in the world?

A: By transforming himself from a demon programmer into a programmer of demons!

It all began when the wizards of the White League were under attack by their opponents of the Black League and one of their most powerful members cast a spell to bring forth a mighty wizard to aid their cause. What the spell delivered was master hacker Walter "Wiz" Zumwalt. The wizard who cast the spell was dead and nobody - not the elves, not the dwarves, not even the dragons - could figure out what the shanghaied computer nerd was good for.

But spells are a lot like computer programs, and, in spite of the Wiz's unprepossessing appearance, he was going to defeat the all-powerful Black League, win the love of a beautiful red-haired witch, and prove that when it comes to spells and sorcery, nobody but nobody can beat a Silicon Valley computer geek!

Slow to get started

When reading the discription, I expected that "inspite of Wiz's unprepossessing appearance, he was going to defeat the all-powerful Black League, win the love of a beautiful red-haired witch, and prove that when it comes to spells and sorcery, nobody but nobody can beat a Silicon Valley computer geek!"..thats what it says in the discription, so it must be true....

What we get is a computer geek brought to a new world ,an infatuation spell cast on him to make him fall in love with the girl, her treating him like crap while protecting him during their trek across the country while he's mostly of no help. He does not really start using magic untill maybe the last hour and a half of the book.

Overall the story nowhere lived up to the expectation. Overall not a bad book but not worth your last credit.

Interesting take on a magical world

It is a great story of morals and how thinking outside the box to use alternative methods can accomplish great results.
