DOUBLE DESTINY

For Stile, life was a matter of shuttling madly between two worlds, with the problems growing greater on each.  On the science world of Proton, he was a serf trying to prove his right to exist by competing in the Great Games.  On Phaze, where only magic worked, he was the Blue Adept, trying to master the powers of sorcery.  And on both worlds, someone was trying to assassinate him.

Aside from winning increasingly difficult contests with no time to prepare, all he had to do was win the love of the Lady Blue, fight a dragon, discover the ultimate weapon - and, of course, seek the paranoid Adept or the all-powerful Citizen who was trying to kill him!

And now, just when things were growing impossible, he had to fight a mortal duel with the unicorn Herd Leader, against whom his magic powers were useless!

IN THIS BILLIANT CONTINUATION OF THE EPIC ADVENTURE THAT BEGAN IN SPLIT INFINITY, PIERS ANTHONY AGAIN PROVES HIMSELF A MASTER OF BOTH FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
