Bob's Memoir

This Signature Edition of Bob's Memoir: 4,000 Years as a Free Demon contains all three volumes of Bob's seminal work on the history of the world for the past four millennia. It has been designed in a way that seems appropriate for the work of an immortal sharing his insights on the development of humanity and inhumanity. Bob has experienced all aspects.

It was a difficult thing for a poor defenseless demon to endure, especially finding how terribly wrong the history books and religious teachings and scientific writings have gotten the story over the years. It is his attempt to set the record straight. He's done everything possible to make the work simple and understandable, stopping short of labeling chapter and verse all the way through.

As a Signature Edition, this volume includes a photo of the real author, Devon Layne. Devon (me) wishes to assure you that he is not a 4,000-year-old demon, no matter what his ex-wives might say. He has merely acted as the intermediary for Bob, who introduced himself as Devon was driving on US Route 95 through Idaho, in search of inspiration and groceries.

Bob introduced himself politely as if he were a passenger in the cab of Devon's truck and told him he would be dictating his story and as soon as Devon was conveniently settled in front of his computer, the story would begin. And thus, it began.

As Devon sat naked in front of his campfire that night, fellow nudist and story consultant Doug showed up to share a beer and discuss the latest story. Devon told him about Bob's arrival on the scene and a little about what he'd been told so far. Doug nodded, downed another beer, and stared into the fire.

"I get it," he said. "Bob is just your every day, slightly horny, happy-go-lucky-mostly lucky-demon."

"That Doug," Bob whispered in Devon's ear. "He shows up every century or two. He gets it."

And so it proved to be. Of course, Doug was only a little of the story Bob told when compared to the many, many women who crossed Bob's path-some of whom, came to stay.

So, I, Devon Layne, have endeavored faithfully to record Bob's story, even when it seemed disjointed and to extend into a future not yet seen. Enjoy!
