OUT OF PHAZE

Stile had problems - two whole worlds of problems, in fact.

On Proton, a world of future science, his murder was averted only by the help of a lovely robot, who sent him through an invisible "curtain" to Phaze, an alternate world ruled by magic.  There he found he was the double of the sorcerer, the Blue Adept, who had been mysteriously murdered.  And the assassin was after Style!

To survive, Stile has to master magic, fight a dragon, win the friendship of a lady unicorn, locate his enemy among the paranoid Adepts, and return out of Phaze to win the Great Games on Proton.  After that, he was ready to race the real problems!

The infallible Oracle was suddenly involved in the conspiracy against him.  The two worlds were out of balance and heading for disaster.  Stile was somehow supposed to take over the job of saving them or go down to total destruction with all he loved, he had to act and act quickly - with no idea of what he was supposed to do.

IN THIS BILLIANTLY SATISFYING CONCLUSION TO THE EPIC ADVENTURE BEGUN IN SPLIT INFINITY AND CONTINUED IN BLUE ADEPT, PIERS ANTHONY AGAIN PROVES HIMSELF A MASTER OF BOTH SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY.

  • 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.
