'One of Zelazny's most delightful books' NEIL GAIMAN ‘The last
great novel by one of the giants of the genre’ GEORGE R. R.
MARTIN All is not what it seems. In the murky London gloom, a
knife-wielding gentleman named Jack prowls the midnight streets
with his faithful watchdog Snuff – gathering together the grisly
ingredients they will need for an ancient and unearthly rite. For
soon after the death of the moon, black magic will summon the Elder
Gods back into the world. And all manner of Players, both human and
undead, are preparing to participate. Some have come to open the
gates. Some have come to slam them shut. And now the dread night
approaches – so let the Game begin. Â
Amber is the one real world, casting infinite reflections of itself
- Shadow worlds, that can be manipulated by those of royal Amberite
blood. But the royal family is torn apart by jealousies and
suspicion; the disappearance of the Patriarch Oberon has
intensified the internal conflict by leaving the throne apparently
up for grabs. In a hospital on the Shadow Earth, a young man is
recovering from a freak car accident; amnesia has robbed him of all
his memory, even the fact that he is Corwin, Crown Prince of Amber,
rightful heir to the throne - and he is in deadly peril . . . The
five books, Nine Princes in Amber, The Guns of Avalon, Sign of the
Unicorn, The Hand of Oberon and The Courts of Chaos, together make
up The Chronicles of Amber, Roger Zelazny's finest work of fantasy
and an undisputed classic of the genre.
From the far reaches of space to the hidden corners of Earth, from
aliens to wizards and everything in between . . . One of the most
influential SFF writers of modern times, Roger Zelazny wrote across
a wide range of subgenres and themes, experimenting with form and
story with mastery. He won many awards throughout his lifetime,
including six Hugo awards, three Nebula awards and two Locus
awards. He has inspired many of today's great SFF authors. This new
collection contains a selection of his short stories and novellas
which span the depth and breadth of the human imagination. 'Zelazny
has always had one of the most inventive imaginations in the genre'
Kirkus Reviews 'Paragon of the storytelling art' Robert Silverberg
'Zelazny's authority never falters, and nor does the charisma of
his voice' Locus
Earth is long since dead. On a colony planet, a band of men has
gained control of technology, made themselves immortal, and now
rules their world as the gods of the Hindu pantheon. Only one dares
oppose them: he who was once Siddhartha and is now Mahasamatman.
Binder of Demons. Lord of Light.
The Road can go Anywhere. The Road can go Anywhen. Almost. Red
Dorakeen has been on the Road for a very long time. For all of
time, in fact. It stretches infinitely into the future and past,
with exits that take him wherever, or whenever, he wants to go. But
he can't find the place he wants to be. He's not the only one who
can travel the Road, and as people join and leave, they can alter
the past, or the future, to suit their whims. Exits close off,
become overgrown, and working out what to change back to return to
old timelines could take, well . . . forever. Fortunately, Red has
all the time he could ever need. Roadmarks is a fantastically
mind-bending novel from one of SFF's most influential authors. It
weaves together linear and non-linear narratives in a compelling
tale full of mystery and magic.
Imagine a distant world where gods walk as men, but wield vast and
hidden powers. Here they have made the stage on which they build a
subtle pattern of alliance, love, and deadly enmity. Are they truly
immortal? Who are these gods who rule the destiny of a teeming
world? Their names include Brahma, Kali, Krishna and also he who
was called Buddha, the Lord of Light, but who now prefers to be
known simply as Sam. The gradual unfolding of the story - how the
colonization of another planet became a re-enactment of Eastern
mythology - is one of the great imaginative feats of modern science
fiction. Winner of the Hugo Award for best novel, 1968.
