Product Description
Product Description
For the past two weeks abominations have been appearing in the unused mazes of the Vaults which lie beneath the Citadel. The seven most powerful wizards in the world can get no fix on their source. So dog wizard Antryg Windrose, currently working in Los Angeles, is lured home to help.
From the Back Cover
Antryg Windrose is a refugee from his world. He’s a Los Angeles bartender by night, a tortoise-measuring eccentric by day and he tells everyone he meets that he’s a wizard in exile. No-one believes him, except Joanna the programmer who loves him and knows the truth.
But when Joanna disappears, after speaking of strange, troubled dreams, Antryg knows that he must return to the Citadel in his own realm. The Council of Wizards want him back and they are using Joanna as bait. For someone has tampered with the Void, unlocking Gates to inhuman realities. Monsters are escaping from other dimensions. And an ancient, evil sorcery is conjuring unspeakable horrors that threaten the very fabric of the universe.
“Hambly continues to be one of the most interesting – and subversive – writers of modern fantasy … supremely original … mystery, offbeat fantasy, psychological novel, 'Dog Wizard' is anything but a standard exercise in sword and sorcery”
LOCUS
“A truly magical prose style, and characters with insight and dept trademark Barbara Hambly’s works. An enviable and intricate talent – I never miss any of her works. 'Dog Wizard' is witty, tragic, brilliant – among the best and most striking of her novels”
JANNY WURTS

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I've read every Barbara Hambly book published, but I think this is my favorite. She has a knack for inventing characters that are complex and real, but Antryg and Joanna are not only believable but wonderful. I can't think of them without a feeling of fondness that I'd usually associate with my own family.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Antryg in trouble again.
This series, one of Hambly's best to date, is a great, hard to put down read. Just read it for the fifth time, and came looking to see if she has gotten to write (the very needed) next volume. Unfortuantly, not yet.
The culture, the magic and how they intergrate is top notche.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In this final installment of her "Dog Wizard" trilogy, you can only home she will do what so many other others are fond of doing today...write andother one! These books are well written and can easily stand independently of each other, but once you read one you want more. Today, it seems, you can get halvway through some workd and already see the "to be continued" notice at the back. There is no feeling of closure to the story and you know you are going to have to buy a couple of more books for satisfaction. Come on now...Ms. Hambly is a gifted story-weaver and lets each of her works stand on their individual merit. These books are a must read for any true fan of fantasy!
