About this title

About the Author:

Piers Anthony is one of the world's most popular fantasy authors, and a New York Times bestseller twenty-one times over. His Mode novels have been read and loved by millions of readers around the world, and he daily receives hundreds of letters from his devoted fans.

From Publishers Weekly:

Anthony's Apprentice Adept series takes place on a world inhabited simultaneously by two separate spheres of being: the science fictional Proton's technological Earth colonists and the fantasy Phaze's magical natives including dragons, demons and goblins. An imbalance that has developed between the aspects now threatens both and wreaks particular havoc with the lives of robotic Mach of Proton and human Bane of Phaze, who are the only contact between realms. For that reason, the zealous Adverse Adepts seek to control the pair by kidnapping their lovers, the alien Agape and the unicorn Fleta. This tepid reworking of A Midsummer Night's Dream from the usually boisterous Anthony becomes a series of contests, from a lovers' bakeoffcomplete with brownie recipeto an Olympics whose events include storytelling and word games.
