This would-be Faust is very bad...at his work, that is. All he wants is to fulfill three little wishes:to live forever, to be master of the universe, and to have a stylin' hot babe.</p><p>But Eric isn't even good at getting his own way. Instead of a powerful demon, he conjures, well, Rincewind, a wizard whose incompetence is matched only by Eric's. And as if that wasn't bad enough, that lovable travel accessory the Luggage has arrived, too. Accompanied by his best friends, there's only one thing Eric wishes now -- that he'd never been born!</p> 59951 1990 Eric (Discworld, #9) total:3735|5:37|4:67|3:70|2:17|1:3| 3735 13119 4672 79 2 2 false false Wed Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Tue Jun 05 08:39:02 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 05 08:39:33 -0700 2007 Eric is an oddity. Although it's the ninth Discworld novel to be published, it feels curiously scrappy and unfinished, like a fragment of juvenilia. It's set up as a parody of Faust; it feels like there's a lot more that could have been done with the novel based on this premise.

Eric is the Discworld's only demonology hacker. The trouble is, he's not very good at it.
