* In ''The Devils of D-Day'' by Creator/GrahamMasterton, a colonel with the British Ministry of Defence tries to get the demon Adramelech to act as a deterrent in the ColdWar. Adramelech is not impressed; the last person to summon him was UsefulNotes/GeorgeSPatton, who had no qualms about wanting his enemies dead or offering the required HumanSacrifice. He sets the colonel on fire and announces that he's going to start World War 3 anyway.

** [[VideoGame/DarkForcesSaga Jerec]], in ''Literature/GalaxyOfFear'', did not release Spore himself, but when it was semicontained and likely to spread only slowly he decided to strike a deal. He gave it his ship and crew in exchange for it saying that it would obey him -- just ''saying'', not even like Thrawn where there was some psychology and safeguards involved. Jerec himself could keep clear of it thanks to TheForce.
