Lazily, she directed on last thought at Gar and Alea, making them want rest as much as she did, then let herself sink down through layers of dwindling consciousness to the land of very exotic dreams that no human being could possibly have understood.

Under the nom de guerre of Gar Pike, renegade psychic wizard Magnus D'Armand travels the stars fighting injustice and oppression, like his father, Rod Gallowglass, the Warlock in Spite of Himself.  But unlike his famous father, Magnus refuses to play by the rules, sowing seeds of freedom and revolution throughout the galaxy.

A Wizard in a Fued

When Gar and Alea land their ship on a planet for computer system maintenance, they aren't expecting to run into Fairies, Wee Folk, Druid priests, and fueding clans transplanted from Scotland and then fotgotten.  Can they, along with two courageous exiles and the psychic power of the Fairies and Wee Folk, bring peace and order to the world?

"The usual brisk, lively, succint blend of puns, one-liners, and social commentary."
- Kirkus Review on A Wizard in the Way


"Stasheff has a knack for crafting a lighthearted, action-filled tale."

Author(s)

Christopher Stasheff  
Birth: 15 Jan 1944 Mount Vernon, New York, USA
Death: 10 Jun 2018 Champaign, Illinois, USA

Notes:
From the "About the Author" secton in Mind Out of TIme:

Christopher Stasheff (1944 - 2018) spent his early childhood in Mount Vernon, New York, but spent the rest of his formative years in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  He always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and has tried to compromise by teaching college.  When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time.  He wrote novels because it was the only way he could be the director, the designer, and all the actors too.  He tended to prescript his life, but couldn't understand why other people never get their lines right.  This caused a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children.  He seeks refuge in fantasy worlds of his own making, and hopes you enjoy them as much as he does.

Christopher died in 2018 from Parkinson's Disease.  He will be remembered by his friends, family, fans, and students for his kind and gentle nature, willingness to guide and mentor any who asked, and for his witty sense of humor.  His terrible puns, however, will be forgotten as soon as humanly possible.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
