Fate's Trick — Matt Costello

TURMOIL IN THE TWENTY UNIVERSES

Alex Tanen, a small-time night club magician, suddenly wins a $1,000,000 sweepstakes. He tries to collect-and is soon battling alligators, monster Constructs, minotaurs ... because Alex's "prize" is a lure to another world.

Easy Gordon--the American mercenary adventurer who traveled Glory Road, the path between alternate universes--needs his old war buddy Alex's help to stop a psychopathic sadist whose sorcerous powers threaten the Twenty Universes. Alex must survive dragons, lightning creatures, antigravity zones, ray-gun wielding knights on flying horses to get to the performance of his life, before an evil audience of one. If Alex gets stagefright, the cosmos is doomed. But Alex Tanen's magic is illusion ...
His enemy's tricks are real ...
