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!

I had a Piers Anthony phase for a while in junior high and high school.  Such easy reading :).  Looks like my copy had a book worm at it.

  • 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.
