MagicNet — John DeChancie

SCHUYLER "SKYE" KING'S LIFE TOOK A TURN FOR THE TRULY BIZARRE THE NIGHT HE HEARD A DEMON DESTROYING A FRIEND ON THE TELEPHONE...

And now the cynical and somewhat inept English professor finds himself unwittingly hooked onto MagicNet--an astonishing meld of the technological and the supernatural...a computer-generated linkage of compatible magicks devised to create a dimension of wonders beyond the mundane. The brainchild of a brilliant renegade hacker/warlock, the Net has begun to take on a terrifying and uncontrollable life of its own. And though barely computer literate, it is the unfortunate Skye King whom the Fates have chosen for a suicidal mission to reprogram an entire universe ... and crash a system that threatens to devour his world.
