Wizard of Karres

to assassinate God. Sound like a bad dream? Maybe?
Sheckley, Robert -
The Masque Manana
Robert Sheckley is thought by some to be one of the SF masters of the humorous
short story. You will find many of them in this collection of forty-five short

you smiling.
Resnick, Mike (Editor) -

Williams, Walter Jon -
Rock of Ages
Take PD Wodehouse add a little Tom Stoppard and set your story on an earth peopled
with aliens and Elvis impersonators, and where burglary is legal, as long as
one is not caught before the caper is broadcast, and you have Rock of Ages;
the story of one of the most successful Allowed Burglars in the business who
is trying to deal with challenges to duel, proposals of marriage and the theft
of his father’s coffin all while on vacation from his chosen profession.
