Temporary Human — Craig Shaw Gardner

The New York Times bestselling author who “skewers all the clichés of quest-fantasy with wit, style, mordant irony and great glee”* invites readers around the water cooler for another Temporary Magic tale…



Welcome to Terrifitemps, a temp agency with a difference. Employees neither file nor type. Instead, they fight the good fight against the Forces of Evil. It takes a certain kind of person to do the job. A person like Lenny Hodge, who has a wild talent that even he doesn't understand -- a talent that has helped him save the world -- twice already.



Now, faced with yet another assignment on which rests the fate of everything, our hero begins to realize that the biggest threat of all may be -- Lenny Hodge. Can he learn to control his awesome power before that strange ability destroys all of Terrifitemps, and maybe the Earth as well? Or will it take the combined efforts of his noble team of ghosts, werevoles, vampires and the fearsome Pooka Patrol to save him from himself?
