GO ASK ALICE Time after time, life after life, Cory Maddox was being incarnated into worlds he found both familiar and strangely different. And it was only in his latest incarnation that, for the first time, Cory brought along knowledge, skills, and memories of his previous existence--memories of cold betrayal, memories that told him that nothing he saw, nothing he felt, could be trusted. Nor could he trust his companions; others who, like himself, kept moving from life to life, intent on gathering enough power to escape the endless cycle. But it was only with the help of those companions that Cory could develop the technological means to peer beyond the veil of reality--to the system that controlled all existence, where perhaps he could glimpse the shadowy figures whom he was sure were manipulating reality...if what he was experiencing actually was reality. Time was running out. His memories gave him an advantage over the others, but he would have to act quickly and surely if he were to discover the truth--before truth itself could no longer be trusted...
In this second book of the Wonderland Gambit, Chalker carries the Cybernetic Walrus tale into wonderful new territories. Cory Maddox undergoes several major life changes. We begin to learn more and wonder even more about the conspiracies surrounding the Brand Box technologies. Maddox (well, sorta Maddox) discovers that he has access to unexpected resources--which he needs, given some of the bizarre twists in this novel. Four stars for a good solid, middle-of-the-trilogy reality-shifting/questioning book. Well worth the money--provides an enjoyable read.
