A nostalgia read. I don't think I've read this since I was 17, as part of a reawakening of reading for me after some fallow years. It was when I was at Uxbridge College so needed something to do on the bus journey there and back (sometimes twice a day) so I started taking advantage of the wonders of Uxbridge Library. I think I started with Terry Pratchett, and picked up a Robert Rankin because the front cover was also by Josh Kirby, so looked very familiar. Other favourite authors of the time were Dick Francis (where did that come from), George MacDonald Fraser and Robert Asprin, who I have hardly thought about since, but whose books I remember finding very funny. I've just googled him and it would appear to be the 'MythAdventures' books I liked so much. Not so much that I want to fork out to read any more though. Same with Robert Rankin, which was just as I remembered it, a strange mix of grubby, dour 70's West London and apocalyptic fantasy.
