FOR LACK OF A SPELL... Xanth was the enchanted land where magic ruled - where every citizen had a special spell only he could canst. It was a land of centaurs and dragons and basilisks. For Bink of the North Village, however, Xanth was no fairy tale. He alone had no magic. And unless he got some - and got some fast! - he would be exiled. Forever! But the Good Magician Humfrey was convinced that Bink did indeed have magic. In fact, both Beauregard the genie and the magic wall chart insisted that Bink had magic. Magic as powerfull as any possessed by the King or by Good Magician Humfrey - or even by the Evil Magician Trent. Be that as it may, no one could fathom the nature of Bink's very special magic. Bink was in dispair. This was even worse than having no magic at all... and he would still be exiled! |

From the beginning, Bink and his companions, Chester the centaur and Crombie, the soldier transformed into a griffin, were harried by an unseen enemy determined to thwart them. Even the power of the Good Magician Humfrey, togather with Bink's protective talent, scarcely saved there lives. Then when Humfrey and Crombie turned against him, all seemed lost. But Binks ingenuity and luck prevailed, and he reached his goal. The King's orders had been carried out... But the King had not expected Bink's next act - to destroy utterly the magic of Xanth! |

Then three weeks. King Trent still hadn't returned. Surely, something terrible had happend; he was apparently held captive in some foul dingeon, unable to excape. Dor was left with the burden of ruling - and with Irene, who was entirely too willing to be his Queen! His only hope was to enter Mundaina and free King Trent. But how could it be done without the powers of magic? Nevertheless, he started forth bravely - togather with Irene, a golem, a centaur, and a young ogre - heading for the far south of Xant. The entrance to Mundainia, of course, lay to the north. |

Even in Xanth, where magic made anything possoble, why should Tandy the Nymph trust him and seem fond of him? And how could all that high-flown conversation be coming out of his mouth?

From the Publisher A spirited sextet of brave adventurers battles deadly demons in a cosmic game for the future of Xanth. Swell Foop, the twenty-fifth volume of Piers Anthony's bestselling Xanth fantasy adventures, is one of the most intricate and intriguing tales in the history of the series. A peril of immense gravity -- or rather a lack of gravity -- endangers the enchanted land of Xanth. The Demon Earth, who rules our own world, has mysteriously disappeared. If he stays away too long, the very fabric of the world will unravel, removing the earth's gravitational field, and incidentally, that of Xanth as well. It's whispered that an unknown Demon has done the deed. The only weapon that can prevail against such a cosmic being is the instrument known as the Swell Foop. And the only way to handle the Swell Foop is to locate the Six Magical Rings of Xanth. By mere chance, six adventurers have been chosen to find the rings: Cynthia Centaur and her mate Che; Breanna of the black Wave and her now-human fiance Justin Tree; Sim, the immortal bird who will one day know all the secrets of the universe; and Jaylin, a young human girl from the Mundane land of Hawaii. A harrowing and hilarious escapade that ranges from Earth to Xanth to a galaxy far, far away, Swell Foop is sure to delight Piers Anthony's many fans. |
