Now in his second year of apprenticeship as Slave of the Lamp, Rufus Tyler is worried he'll never be assigned another adventure with Heroes Inc. But when the boss, seven-foot green genie Abu Hasan, washes up on shore trapped in a perfume bottle, Rufus soon finds himself transported back in time through the magic lamp helping the heroes of mythology do what they do best—battling Gorgons, stealing body parts, slaying sea monsters, and getting into fights at wedding receptions. And that's just his first adventure for the year...Releasing the Genie is the second book in the series Slave of the Lamp. The hero, Rufus Tyler, is a fourteen year-old boy who loves travel—especially if it involves fire breathing dragons, devilish demons and mad assassins.
