THROUGH THE CURTAIN

On the technological, decadent world of Proton, someone was trying to destroy Stile, serf and master Gamesman.  His only escape lay through a mysterious "curtain" revealed by a loving robot.

Beyond the curtain lay Phaze - a world totally ruled by magic.  There, his first encounter was with an amulet that turned into a demon determined to choke him to death.  And there, he soon learned, his alternate self had already been murdered by sorcery, and he was due to be the next victim.

"Know thyself!" the infallible Oracle told him.  But first he must save himself as he shuttled between worlds.

On Proton, his fate depended on winning the great Games.

On Phaze, he could survive only by mastering magic.  And if he used any magic at all, the werewolf and the unicorn who were his only friends were determined to kill him at once!

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.

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.
