Description
"In the twenty-first century, magic has advanced with the times and gone digital. Ravirn--umpteenth great-grandson of one of the three Fates--is a talented sorcerer, a computer hacker extraordinaire, and in the process of becoming a minor demigod. His best friend and familiar is both a goblin and a laptop, changing from one shape to the other as needed. While repairing Necessity (the badly broken sentient computer that runs the multiverse), Ravirn is thrown into a very different place: a show more parallel world where the Greek gods are only myths. This strange realm is ruled by the Norse pantheon--Odin, Thor, and other fun-loving brutes--and their magic uses a completely different operating system. A system that Ravirn will have to hack if he ever wants to get out of Asgard alive..."--p. [4] of cover. show lessTags

After what happened with books 2 and 3, I'm willing to give McCullough the benefit of the doubt and hope that book 5 will make this one worth it. (On its own merits, it totally isn't, but this one's clearly meant as a very long setup for the next one.)
I love these books. They're exciting and fun and I love the way the author combines mythology and computer programming.
Nifty take on the Norse gods, and a tight and interesting segment in the story arc.
