I am reviewing the whole Apprentice Adept series from Piers Anthony. But first, for those who care (and those who don't), I am going to explain how I use the star system (which may cause me to change some previous entries).
1 star: Ridiculous, did not even finish it. If this book and I met in a dark alley...oh, it better watch out.
2 star: Finished it, but only because I was tricked into thinking I was a pimply 14-year old and I had a paper due tomorrow. I .had to finish it?.
3 star: Finished, and

these books cleverly mix a world of futuristic technologies and politics with a world of fantasy and magic. (hence the title of the 3rd book, juxtaposition). they are really fun to read, i was never too much into fantasy but these books did it for me.
Compilation of the first 3 books of what I just found out is now an 8 book series! I have read the 1st 7 of them, and I highly recommend them.
Fun series from the author of the Xanth books that does a great job of mixing science and magic, SF and F, in different realms. Highly enjoyable.
First three books in the Apprentice Adept series: Split Infinity, Blue Adept, & Juxtaposition.
Just had to buy a new version of this book as my old "book club" copy fell apart.

OMNIBUS OF THE APPRENTICE ADEPT TRILOGY
This series is awesome, written by Piers Anthony, whose Xanth series maybe the most ridiculous fantasy series ever. This sci-fi series has multiple dimensions and focuses on a planet that exists to mine the fuel for interstellar travel and for poeple to bet on sports and games. Games like rock-paper-scissors. Includes a high-stakes rock-paper-scissors match with play by play strategy exposition. Wait a minute, that doesn't sound better than Xanth after all, but it is, so much better.
Anthony's Xanth books are an amusement, and rarely disappoint--but they aren't really to be taken seriously--and if you've read one you've read them all. This set however loses the puns and jokes and is a pretty good tale. I must say I have a certain envy for Anthony--he's another of a list of Sci Fi writers that seems to be a human typewriter--it's a rare month that he doesn't have something new out or other. Pick it up if you find it. You won't be sorry.
Again, series got bad after the fourth or so. I liked the cleverness of the games, but not interested in keeping these in my collection.
I read the individual books years ago, but I'm looking forward to churning through this omnibus edition.
I loved this three series book. I went on to read the other as well.
