  <default_description>&lt;I&gt;Split Infinity&lt;/I&gt; is the first book in Piers Anthony's Blue Adept series. Here two worlds exist side by side: Proton and Phaze. Proton is a science fiction world, where everything works in a logical and scientific manner. Phaze is a fantasy world similar to Anthony's Xanth in that there's no such thing as science--it's all done with magic! The wild plot involves a young adventurer named Stile (he's a jockey on Proton named after the steps put over a fence for people who are working in fields with horses) who lives on Proton and learns that his &quot;double&quot; in Phaze has been murdered. To solve his own demise, Stiles must travel between the two realities, each abounding with the expected confusions and unexpected plot twists for which Anthony is famous. An artful blending of SF and fantasy clich&#233;s and situations, &lt;I&gt;Split Infinity&lt;/I&gt; shows Piers Anthony at the top of his ingenious game(s). &lt;I&gt;--Stanley Wiater&lt;/I&gt;

The series consists fo 7 books, 3 about Stile, and 4 about the Apprentice Adept</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[One of Piers Anthony's better books, when he was still able to crank the occasional original idea. Quite a lot of fun. Unfortunately, subsequent sequels show off his superb skill at taking a fresh, interesting idea, and beating it over and over to death, into absolute genre mush.

    <body><![CDATA[Piers Anthony is an author who is more conceptually innovative than literary.  His writing is like puff pastry and not very substantive, but his characters are likable and the plots engaging.
