he late James Blish was interested in what made humans "go," and he used his position as a writer of paperback science-fiction to examine the underpinnings of human desire. In this one, a man is so greedy for illicit profits that he contracts with a sorcerer to call up EVERY demon he's signed a blood contract with, more than seventy in all, to stir up conflict and violence. Well-researched where it comes to the diabloic material and believable where the human interactions are concerned. Originally written as two novels, which must have been very short indeed -- my combined volume is very slim and wouldn't do to level a wobbly table. Enjoyable both by those with an established interest in the occult and those who are simply interested in a good read.
