From the Publisher

Back cover of Realty Check
Piers Anthony is a publishing phenomenon, one of the best selling writers of science fiction and fantasy. There is no living writer more popular with teenagers. His Xanth books have a quality of fun that is instantly appealing as well as placing him on The New York Times best seller list.

But he has also written serious historical novels, such as Tatham Mound (William Morrow) and Volk (Pulpless.Com). His Tarot series uses fantasy to explore adult themes and shows him as a master of allegory. His gift for strong characterization has been hailed in The Atlanta Journal & Constitution.

All of his literary virtues are to be found in Realty Check, a magnum opus of why Piers Anthony is more than an entertaining writer. He is an important writer. If your imagination has been feeling undernourished lately, give it a treat.

This novel builds bridges between generations as it builds them between worlds. There is a quality here of classic Heinlein. The main characters face the unknown with courage instead of fear. Encountering the fantastic makes them think better instead of not thinking at all. Realty Check is a celebration of life, and a love story between grandparents and a granddaughter, between cousins, and between friends. Most of all, Realty Check is the first novel to fully explore the impact of the internet on the American family, albeit in science-fiction terms.

Reality is up for grabs when you grab this book. And the value of your property is sure to go up. That's a promise.
