New Releases by Roger Zelazny

In ancient times he was a powerful wizard known as the Phoenix. But much like oil and coal Mana, the fuel for magic, was a finite resource. Through the ages wizards have fought duels and nations have fallen protecting the limited supply of Mana. Only a handful of wizards have survived into modern days. These wizards keep their identities secret and hide from one another to keep the small amounts of Mana that they posses secret. But another wizard has been trying to kill Phoenix. He has to find out who it is and stop them before his entire supply of Mana is exhausted.

Hell Tanner isn't the sort of guy you'd mistake for a hero: he's a fast-driving car thief, a smuggler, and a stone-cold killer. Facing life in prison for his various crimes, he's given a choice: Rot away his remaining years in a tiny jail cell, or drive cross-country and deliver a case of antiserum to the plague-ridden people of Boston, Massachusetts. The chance of a full pardon does wonders for getting his attention. And don't mistake this mission of mercy for any kind of normal road trip-not when there are radioactive storms, hordes of carnivorous beasts, and giant, mutated scorpions to be found along every deadly mile between Los Angeles and the East Coast. But then, this is no normal part of America, you see. This is Damnation Alley....

“Vivid and elliptical... If you've ever asked yourself what would have happened if Philip Marlowe had been Odysseus... here is a clue to the answer.” —New Worlds THE HUGO AWARD-WINNING FIRST NOVEL EVER WRITTEN BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE CHRONICLES OF AMBER! Conrad Nomikos has a long, rich personal history that he'd rather not talk about. And, as Arts Commissioner, he's been given a job he'd rather not do. Escorting an alien grandee on a guided tour of the shattered remains of Earth is not something he relishes-especially when it is apparent that this places him at the center of high-level intrigue that has some bearing on the future of Earth itself! "Roger Zelazny [was] the compleat New Wave author, so daring he could pen nothing without perturbing some creaky icon... so strong a writer, so moving in the sweep of his plots and imagery."—David Brin

One of only two children's books written by award willing fantasy author Roger Zelazny.But are you magic?Sort of, he said. In the way that the sun making you feel warm and good is magic, in the way that the wind blowing part you when you spread your wings and soar is Magic . . . The kind of magic everyone s got . . . Your own way of seeing things. Mine is the pterodactyl way.When Susi cut through the old orchard, shady and secret and out-of-the-way, she was alone. Then, on a fine, warm, sunny day during the last week of school she met Herman, a lonesome pterodactyl sunning himself on a rock. So began an extraordinary summer of friendship, adventure, discovery and . . . magic.

Des neuf enfants d''Oberon, c''est à présent Random qui règne sur Ambre depuis la défaite des forces du Chaos. Corwin a disparu, on le croit mort ou privé de raison. Son fils Merlin mène depuis huit ans une existence apparemment paisible sur l''Ombre-Terre, sous le nom de Merle Corey. Mais chaque année, à date fixe, un mystérieux personnage tente de l''assassiner. Et peu à peu s''accumulent les preuves d''une machination visant à détruire pour toujours la magie d''Ambre... Un nouveau cycle commence, celui de Merlin.

Tout peut arriver lorsqu''on appartient à l''illustre famille des Princes d''Ambre. Par exemple, comme Merle Corey en fait l''expérience, se retrouver projeté dans un univers digne d''Alice au pays des merveilles. Une situation qui n''est pas forcément désagréable. Mais quand un monstrueux Jabberwock surgit du décor pour se lancer à votre poursuite, qu''il est de surcroît rejoint par un Ange Igné de la dernière férocité, vous êtes en droit d''estimer que le Chaos a d''étranges façons de vous faire signe ; et qu''il est temps de mettre hors d''état de nuire des ennemis capables de vous débusquer jusque dans les rêves d''autrui. Encore faut-il les démasquer, démêler le vrai du faux, le traître de l''allié, dans un monde de plus en plus semblable à un gigantesque palais des glaces.

Centuries in the future, Francis Sandow is the only man alive who was born as long ago as the 20th century. His body is kept young and in perfect health by advanced scientific methods; he has amassed such a fortune that he can own entire planets; and he has become a god. No, not a god of Earth, but one of the panetheon of the alien Pei'ans: he is Shimbo of Darktree, Shrugger of Thunders. Yet he doesn't believe that his personality has merged with the ancient consciousness of Shimbo, that he really can call down the skies upon his enemies. The time comes, however, when Francis Sandow must use these powers against the most dangerous antagonist in the universe: another Pei'an god -- Shimbo's own enemy, Belion. And Belion has no doubt whatever of his own powers....

Nada más acceder al trono de Ámbar, Corwin deberá investigar la muerte de Caine, asesinado por unas extrañas y sombrías criaturas... Pero este no será el único asunto turbio al tenga que hacer frente: aunque ha conseguido que sus derechos a la corona prevalezcan, descubrirá que todavía son demasiados los que desean verle muerto. Ámbar es el mundo verdadero, un universo que proyecta infinitos reflejos de sí mismo, solo manipulables por aquellos con sangre real amberita. Las armas de Avalón es el segundo volumen de Las crónicas de Ámbar, la mejor serie de fantasía de Zelazny, comparable en influencia a El señor de los Anillos de Tolkien.

Isle of the Dead: Centuries in the future, Francis Sandow is the only man alive who was born as long ago as the 20th century. His body is kept young and in perfect health by advanced scientific methods; he has amassed such a fortune that he can own entire planets; and he has become a god.

Eye of Cat: A retired hunter of alien zoo specimens, William Blackhorse Singer, the last Najavo on a future Earth, is called upon by the World Government to aid in protecting an alien diplomat from a powerful and hostile member of his own species. Singer, in turn, seeks the aid of a shape-shifting alien known as "Cat" in carrying out the mission. Cat accepts, with one condition: when the mission is over, he wants a return bout with the man who captured him -- a chase with Singer as the hunted instead of the hunter....

In this collaboration with Roger Zelazny, an armless and legless painter must undertake a pilgrimage through a nuclear war-ravaged America in a search for the God of Wrath, whose picture he has been commissioned to paint.

Il a pour nom Mahasamatman, Bouddha, Tathagata ou, plus simplement, Sam. Il est également le prince Siddhartha. Tout juste revenu à la vie, il décide de se mettre en marche et de se soulever contre Brahmâ, Vishnou et Shiva, ces immortels composant la Trimoûrti qui règne sur les habitants d''une planète isolée. En montrant la Voie et en disant la vérité aux mortels, il espère bien faire des ravages dans les rangs des Seigneurs de Lumière... Mêlant fort habilement mythologie hindoue et science-fiction, Seigneur de Lumière est un objet littéraire hors normes. Ce troisième roman de Roger Zelazny est sans doute son ouvre la plus ambitieuse. Il a d''ailleurs été récompensé par le prix Hugo en 1968.

Two gods, two houses, one quest, and the eternal war between life and death To save his kingdom, Anubis, Lord of the Dead, sends forth his servant on a mission of vengeance. At the same time, from The House of Life, Osiris sends forth his son, Horus, on the same mission to destroy utterly and forever The Prince Who Was a Thousand. But neither of these superhuman warriors is prepared for the strange and harrowing world of mortal life, and The Thing That Cries in the Night may well destroy not only their worlds, but all mankind. As Zelazny did with the Hindu pantheon in the legendary, groundbreaking classic Lord of Light, the master storyteller here breathes new life into the Egyptian gods with another dazzling tale of mythology and imagination.

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 third book in the Roger Zelazny trilogy.

En un mundo lejano de los extremos del tiempo, el panteón hindú gobierna todas las cosas. Sam, dominador de demonios, que ha perdido la gracia del cielo, ayudado ahora por los poderes de las tinieblas luchará por librar al hombre de las leyes del karma y las divinidades autócratas.

The final masterpiece by the late and legendary Roger Zelazny, written in collaboration with acclaimed author Jane Lindskold.

He must preserve the demon race and the Demon Realms--an impossible task unless he can regain that which made him extraordinary.
