Q: How does a shanghaied computer geek conquer all the forces of darkness and win the love of the most beautiful witch in the world?
A: By transforming himself from a demon programmer into a programmer of demons!
It all began when the wizards of the White League were under attack by their opponents of the Black League and one of their most powerful members cast a spell to bring forth a mighty wizard to aid their cause. What the spell delivered was master hacker Walter "Wiz" Zumwalt. The wizard who cast the spell was dead and nobody - not the elves, not the dwarves, not even the dragons - could figure out what the shanghaied computer nerd was good for.
But spells are a lot like computer programs, and, in spite of the Wiz's unprepossessing appearance, he was going to defeat the all-powerful Black League, win the love of a beautiful red-haired witch, and prove that when it comes to spells and sorcery, nobody but nobody can beat a Silicon Valley computer geek!

Unfortunately, the audio performance wasn't as good as I'd hoped, with occasional mispronounced words and names, though perhaps the original text had typos, and inconsistent character voicing.
Great book, performance detracted from it

Overall the book was what I expected going into it. Programmer taken to a new world with magic, cool!
(spoilers below)
Where this book goes wrong is when MC is "bound" through an infatuation spell to a b*tch witch that hates him and treats him like crap. I strongly dislike all interactions between the two through the WHOLE book. Eventually the spell is broken but he never notices and still loves her for no reason other than she is kind of pretty.
The other problem I had is the magic system. According to the book everyone can use magic but not usually on purpose, however those that study how to use magic can be considered wizards. That's fine I guess but when any wizards talk about mc they say they cant sense any wizard potential in him. I cant figure out how that works if all they have to do is study? By the end of the book he is casting powerfull spells that arent considered spells and he is still not a wizard. I can only assume that means he is a magical programmer, but isnt that the same thing?
These two problems bugged me through most of the book but it wasnt enough to dissuade me from finishing the book like others I have left incomplete.
Not horrible, but not great. Just a mediocre book in my opinion.
Spoilers ahead. Tread with caution!
