Product Description

Product Description
No good deed goes unpunished; After returning from his quest to save the world from his uncle, the vaguely all-powerful Archon of Old Earth, Filidor Vesh now bumbles blindly through an attempt to squelch the machinations of a would-be political usurper. As a result, he must contend with an odd assortment of evil agents as well as the discovery of his true love - a ravishing beauty who knocks him down, steals his heart, and dares him to pursue her.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightfully intoxicating cocktail, 31 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This is the second book by Matt Hughes about the Archonate on Old Earth, with young Filidor the Archon's apprentice. I thoroughly enjoyed this sequel to « Fools Errant ». Sequels are sometimes disappointing, not so with this one which I find even better, Hughes has definitely found his momentum. Matt Hughes has been compared to many authors, such as Jack Vance (Eyes of the Overworld, The Cugel Saga): he has his scintillating prose, richness and inventiveness of vocabulary, flair for dialogue. He's been compared to Swift: he has his talent for satire. He's been compared to Doug Adams and Terry Pratchett: he has their sense of humour and mastery of the absurd. As to P.G. Wodehouse, one can sense in Filidor some aspects of Bertie Wooster in his more vapid moments.
But like cocktails, the important thing is not so much the analysis of the ingredients, the main point is the overall effect: you'll find "Fool Me Twice" delightfully intoxicating. Matt Hughes has done a successful mix that's more than the sum of its components!
