If at Faust You Don't Succeed

The last Millennial contest--between the forcesof Good and Evil for control of theuniverse--didn't work out quite so well for Evil and its rooters.But it's time for the next round, and this timethe demon Mephistopheles is carrying the ball forthe forces of Darkness. But all is not as it seems.The harried archdemon mistakenly signs up amedieval cutpurse names Mack the Club, thinking him thelearned Dr. Faust. The demon Azzie, stillstinging from the Evil's last defeat (and not beingchosen to head the current effort), takes events intohis own claws. And the pious angel Michael--well,let's just say some of his tactics in the titanicstruggle to come are not quite cricket . . . .
