Kurzbeschreibung
TRUMP CARD
Reality wasn't what it used to be. Life after life, as man, woman, and child, Cory Maddox was trapped in an endless cycle of ever-changing realities, on the run from his ruthless companions *who were likewise trapped *and from the shadowy figures that seemed to exist outside the matrix.
The matrix that was becoming increasingly unstable.
Each new Alice-in-Wonderland world proved increasingly bizarre, and Cory wanted nothing more than to find the way home. Fragments of knowledge * a mysterious UFO crash, alien technology, glimpses of a computer that was controlling his fate *all pointed toward Matthew Brand, the virtual reality genius. But Brand had vanished long ago, into, or perhaps beyond, the borders of reality.
To break the cycle of cyber-reincarnation, Cory had to unlock the rules of the game. The deck was stacked against him, but Brand was his ace-in-the-hole. Somehow, somewhere, Cory had to find Brand *before the actions of his enemies destroyed reality altogether . . .

Actually, Chalker manages to incorporate his favourite themes: that stagnation leads to Hell, his fascination with how much power corrupts, and what some call an obsession with transformation. If nothing else, his "first world" in this book brilliantly analyses what would happen if women really did have power. David Brin did an equally good (albeit different) job, and few others have avoided the standard clichés. As a conclusion to his most paranoid trilogy, the book is brilliant, up to the last chapter. Fans of the late Phil Dick (of whom I am one) should recognise it as the last chapter of Dick's own book UBIK. This lack of originality nonetheless fits in with one of the most paranoid trilogies I have ever read.

This is fantastic stuff. I read through the whole series very quickly, always wanting to see what happened next. Chalker is a great storyteller, with excellent character development and retroactive exposition that will continue after you have finished the book, while you wonder just what the "real" reality is. BTW, I think "The Matrix" _did_ steal heavily from this series.

I really enjoyed both this book and the series in general. It has been yet another fine work by Chalker, although, like most of his works, it quickly becomes very confusing if you aren't paying attention. Or sometimes if you are. I would have liked a better ending, but it was, at least, appropriate.
