Juxtaposition
OUT OF PHAZE
Stile had problems – two whole worlds of problems, in fact. On Proton,
a world of future science, his murder was averted only by the help of a
lovely robot, who sent him through an invisible "curtain" to Phaze, an
alternate world ruled by magic. There he found he was the double of the
sorcerer. the Blue Adept, who had been mysteriously murdered. And the
assassin was after Stile!
To survive, Stile had to master magic, fight a dragon, win the
friendship of a lady unicorn, locate his enemy among the paranoid
Adepts, and return out of Phaze to win the Great Games on Proton. After
that, he was ready to face the real problems!
The infallible Oracle was suddenly involved in the conspiracy against
him. The two worlds were out of balance and heading for disaster. Stile
was somehow supposed to take over the job of saving them or go dawn to
total destruction with all he loved. He had to act and act quickly –
with no idea of what he was supposed to do.

What sets Anthony apart is his ability to weave humor and depth into stories that are both lighthearted and thought-provoking, making him a standout in the fantasy genre.
Anthony’s journey to becoming a household name in fantasy literature wasn’t a straightforward path.
