For the Game.”“Ah, the Game.” The man squinted at him judiciously.

That de-termination to damn well prove he was not as small as they saw him. So, of the three Piers Anthony series that had been optioned for TV or movies, Split Infinity is the one with the largest amount of content for shapeshifter and werewolf fans.“They get pretty heavy.” He meant heavy for someone Stile’s size.Again that burgeoning anger, that hopeless wrath instigated by the careless affronts of strangers. The Incarnations of Immortality series has a horse who can shapeshift into any vehicle, and that's about as much shapeshifting as you get. The Xanth series did not have extensive shapeshifting until a number of books in, when shapeshifter Prince Dolph became a main character for awhile. In related news, Warner Pictures has dropped their plans to make a movie based on the first novel of another Piers Anthony series, the Xanth series, however Disney is still apparently going ahead with plans to turn the Incarnations of Immortality novels into a TV series. Refreshingly, instead of there being a vampire/werewolf war or rivalry, as is found in so much fiction, the unicorns and werewolves are sworn enemies instead. Each unicorn can turn into two (or rarely three) other forms, and normally one of those chosen forms is human. The unicorns are the only ones who get to choose their forms. On Phaze, the humans are dominant, with unicorns, werewolves and vampires being the most common non-human species. The novel series is about Phaze and Proton, two linked worlds, with one being based on science and the other on magic.

Also, towards the end of the series, shapeshifting aliens show up, but they might not go on to adapt anything beyond the first novel, so we'll have to wait and see. According to this newsletter and also previous newsletters, work is still proceeding on an anime movie adaptation of the first novel in Piers Anthony's Apprentice Adept series, Split Infinity, which has werewolves as well as shapeshifting unicorns.
