About the book
Meet Azazel... He's two centimeters tall. He's fiery red. He has magical powers strong enough to wreck a normal human's life...all with the best intentions, of course. George Bitternut, an eccentric linguist and deadbeat, stumbles onto an ancient incantation that calls forth this diminutive demon of astonishing wizardry. Unfortunately, Azazel refuses to do anything for George's personal gain—but he agrees to help out a few of his friends. With Dr. Asimov himself as eager audience, George recounts eighteen episodes of life with Azazel—disastrous, hilarious episodes that could only spring from the science fiction's most fertile imagination. Contents: * The Two-Centimeter Demon * One Night of Song * The Smile that Loses * To the Victor * The Dim Rumble * Saving Humanity * A Matter of Principle * The Evil Drink Does * Writing Time * Dashing Through the Snow * Logic Is Logic * He Travels the Fastest * The Eye of the Beholder * More Things in Heaven and Earth * The Mind's Construction * The Fights of Spring * Galatea * Flight of Fancy
