From School Library Journal:

Grade 7 Up–Jeff Smax and his partner, Toybox, characters from Moores police series Top 10, spin off and journey to Jeffs home world. Its here that many of the questions that readers have had about Jeff are finally answered. Science and technology dont exist and myth and magic rule, however bureaucratically. There are dragons to slay and quotas to fill, and who better than Jaafs the dragonslayer? Jeff is not that happy about the possibility of getting sucked back into a world that he has happily left behind but the results are fun and enjoyable. Those who have not read Top 10 should be able to pick up this title with little problem. Its perfect for fans of Terry Pratchetts Discworld series (HarperCollins). The cartoon art fits the story well and will appeal to a wide audience.–Melissa T. Jenvey, New York Public Library
