An excellent book, but now all included in "the complete mad Amos" ( ) From the prolific Alan Dean Foster, author of the Flinx series as well as numerous movie-based novels, the story of anachronistic mountain man Mad Amos Malone. Mad Amos belies his huge, gruff appearance with knowledge of the arcane and skills that go beyond that. He rides a unicorn disguised as an ungainly horse (horse thieves beware) and tangles with a gold-robbing dragon, takes an English hunter looking for the fabulous jackalope, faces down howling headless spirits, and engages in a contest of skin-burning curses with a renegade Indian medicine man. Funny book. Snap it up if you come across it. no reviews | add a review
