Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Corwin is a prince of Amber, the "immortal city from which every other city has taken its shape." All other worlds, including Earth, are shadows of that reality. Corwin has spent centuries on Earth as an amnesiac. But when someone in the family tries to kill him there, Corwin begins a search for his past. He quickly learns that his family has some very unusual powers. They can travel between Amber, its shadows, and Chaos by manipulating reality; use magical playing cards to communicate and travel instantaneously; and are able to walk the Pattern that created Amber. Corwin regains his memory, solves the mystery of his father Oberon's disappearance, and fulfills his destiny--only to disappear into Chaos.
Merlin searches for Corwin and his destiny as a son of both Amber and the Courts of Chaos. His story parallels Corwin's, answering many questions about Amber, Chaos, and the next generation in the family.
Many readers have complained that the series goes on too long and the ending is disappointing. None, however, would deny that it's filled with fascinating ideas, complex characters, and action-adventure. Don't miss a chance to make up your own mind. --Nona Vero

Review
“Teems with excitement. . . . A swashbuckling tale of parallel worlds.” - Psychology Today
“A dazzling blend of myth science fiction and (super) human nature.” - Kirkus Reviews
“A rousing good tale.” - Village Voice
“Lord of Light is funny, wise, and infused with a sense of wonder and knowledge. It tells of people who become gods but still remain, for all that, people. It is tricky and brilliant and heartfelt and dangerous. It’s the kind of book that makes you want to be a writer. Nobody else made myths real and valuable in the way Roger Zelazny could. I’m delighted that Lord of Light is being reissued in trade paperback for a new generation.” - Neil Gaiman
“The greatest example of Zelazny’s genius . . . the characters are intriguing, the events cosmic and dazzling . . . a masterpiece.” - Salisbury (N.C.) Post
“Roger Zelazny was one of SF’s finest storytellers, a poet with an immense and instinctive gift for language. Reading Zelazny is like dropping into a Mozart string quartet as played by Thelonius Monk.” - New York Times Bestselling author Greg Bear
“Roger Zelazny is not comfortable with rigid categories. He writes about science as if it were magic and magic as if it were science. His characters are conversant with Chaucer and Nietzsche and thermodynamics and Hart Crane and molecular biology.” - New York Times Book Review
“For those who read and enjoyed the series, but who may have lent or misplaced a book or two, this is a welcome addition. For those who never read the series in the first place, it is a delightful treat.” - The Oregonian (Portland)
