Another great series by Piers Anthony!! The way that he mixes modern thinking in with exciting fantasy is amazing. His vast imigination is so articulately translated to the page giving the feeling that he actually visited this place instead of created it.. and the plot thickens and keeps you hanging throughout each book. Bravo Mr. Anthony

Piers Anthony gives us a dynamic story in the Apprenctice Adept Series. From Robots and Androids, to Unicorns and Werewolves. This series was a joy to read! I highly recommend it.

The first three books of "The Apprentice Adept" series are a wonderful read. I couldn't pull myself away from the worlds of Phaze or Proton for even a moment without planning my next re-entry! The melding of magic and technology, the ease of transition between the two worlds, the intrigue of two "different" political systems, and THE GAMES! Sure you knew that Stile was going to be successful, but it was great fun watching it happen! I would recommend them to my friends, but I would also warn that some of the themes are a bit adult, and should probably be considered rated PG-13.

This book is the first three of the apprentice adept series. Explore the magical world of phaze, and the highly advanced civilization on Proton. This book is an interving of science and technology that only a master can create. I highly recomend this book to anyone. It is one of the books that locked me into science fiction

I tell you all, read the Apprentice Adept series. It is wonderful. P. Anthony created two worlds that are the same yet totally opposite in which a man, a serf, named Stile has to save his life with the help of a finely crafted, beautiful female robot named Sheen. Stile crosses from the science frame (Proton) to a world of magic (Phaze) in order to escape the threat on his life. However, in Phaze, the threat still follows him. Stile gains special magic powers in Phaze that help him and he also meets some new friends, a unicorn, a werewolf, a beautiful woman called the Lady Blue, and a vampire that helps him defeat the threat. But the problem is solved yet; Stile has to save Phaze and Proton from destruction. A wonderful Sci-Fi/Fantasy novel Anthony-style.

Beginning in the mundane setting of scientifically and socially advanced planet Proton, a serf named Stile makes his way to the top of the lowest social class: Serfdom. Stile's life soon becomes endangered. His only hope is a self-willed machine woman named Sheen who was sent to protect and love the little man. It doesn't stop there: Stile finds a gate way to another dimension where magic rules instead of science. Across this "curtain" Stile's life is still endangered, but he is a powerful magic-user called an Adept, the Blue Adept. As the Blue Adept, Stile Battles an unknown enemy that hunts him. Stile's friends: lovely Lady Blue, Neysa the Unicorn, and Kurrelgyre the Werewolf help him in the magic world called Phaze (similar to Piers' other magic realm Xanth) to protect him and find the anonymous conspirator. In Proton frame, Sheen and her self-willed robot friends aid Stile in protecting him and discovering the unknown menace. Later, Stile has to save Phaze and Proton from destruction. He has to battle Adept and Proton Citizens alike to save the worlds. A wonderful story full of adventure!
