In this brilliantly satisfying conclusion to the epic adventure begun in Split Infinity and continued in Blue Adept, Piers Anthony again proves himself a consummate master of both science fiction and fantasy.

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 Stile!

To survive, Stile had 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 face 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is entertainment for fun

I enjoy all of Piers Anthony's books. They take me away from reality. Some people say they're childish but there's a lot of meaning you can grasp in the words. It is very enjoyable without it being dark drama. I am tired of having to be a dark adult serious depressing oppressive I enjoy uplifting crazy silly things to make me happy. He always entertains me every book I've read and I've read everyone he's published.

5.0 out of 5 stars A journey coming to a bittersweet end
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2020
Verified Purchase
A true masterpiece of both the Sci-fi and fantasy genres. Anthony expertly handles the nuances of both worlds making for a truly epic storyline, with ups and downs, and the everlasting presence of chance incorporated into the main character's otherwise fated path. Every interaction and twist feels alive and original, and there is never a good place to put down this phenomenal book (and trilogy as a whole). The author manages to conclude the story with a swift yet open ending. Although there are no more books in this series, one can happily imagine adventures to continue for the protagonists. It only became apparent at the very end that nothing is quite as it seems, and the two seemingly separate concepts of fate and chance were in fact one and the same.

This is the final book of a three book set for the Blue Adept. The concepts of sci-fi and magic are well written and very intriguing. I love Piers Anthony and this series is my favorite, followed by the Zanth series. Imaginative, witty, intriguing, humorous. Loved it. Have read it several times over the years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Appropriate ending
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2007
Verified Purchase
I was able to figure out the ending long before, but it was still enjoyable to finally finish this trilogy. I had originally bought it in the eighties when it was first published, but had never finished book 2. This time I was adamant about finishing the trilogy. (I didn't realize that there were another three books written even though I own one.) As I was getting close to finishing the second book, I couldn't find the third! Since I was pre-ordering the last Harry Potter book and needed something to get over $25 for free shipping, I figured I might as well re-order the third book. Needless to say, I found the original days after receiving the new copy and before finishing book two, so this book has never been opened. Still, even though the price was double what I originally paid for it, it was worth it. The original series was a very good read. I'm not a fan of Piers Anthony personal beliefs, but I think he's a talented writer. Thank you Piers for a very readable and fun series.

This novel follows on very closely from "Split Infinity" and "Blue Adept". Although it can 'stand alone' I would recommend reading the first two novels before, in order to get the best from this one.
