Stile lives on Proton - where he is a serf and master games man. His life is pretty good and he is marveling at his luck lately when suddenly he doesn't have a good streak anymore - someone wants him to not be so good and injures him enough that he isn't very much use to his citizen. Stile is no dummy. There is a reason he is a master gamesman. While hiding out he stumbles through to another world. Another world nothing like his but somewhat the same. Where is he and can he survive here?
What can I say about this book? It was written in the 70's. AFTER I read the book I read other's reviews and some of them are pretty harsh. Stile is a manly man man. But I don't think this book is sexist. I don't think women are objectified in this book either. He has created some very strong women characters and they have their place in these worlds. Stile is the main character and it's his story. I liked the way Piers writes and I like concept of parallel universes.
I think this is a good old read and it should be experienced.
