Robert (Lynn) Asprin was born in 1946. While he wrote some stand alone novels such as The Cold Cash War, Tambu, and The Bug Wars and also the Duncan & Mallory Illustrated stories, Bob is best known for his series fantasy, such as the Myth Adventures of Aahz and Skeeve, the Phule's Company novels, and the Time Scout novels written with Linda Evans. He also edited the groundbreaking Thieves' World anthology series with Lynn Abbey. Other collaborations include License Invoked (set in the French Quarter of New Orleans) and several Myth Adventures novels, all written with Jody Lynn Nye.

Bob's final solo work was a contemporary fantasy series called Dragons, again set in New Orleans.

Bob passed away suddenly on May 22, 2008. He is survived by his daughter and son, his mother and his sister.

Reviews

[MBybee]

Simply one of the best collections of fantasy writing I've ever encountered.
It's a crime this isn't available as an ebook.

I read the first omnibus (Thieves' World #1-3) and started this one, but the violence has upticked so sharply that I needed a break about halfway through book 5 (The Face of Chaos). I will certainly go back to it, but I'm having a nice, long vacation first!
