SF Masterworks (TPB)Chronicles of Amber, The (Zelazny, Roger)
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 Patriach 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.

Roger Zelazny
Amerikansk forfatter som levede fra 1937 til 1995. Han begyndte at skrive SF og fantasy I 1962. Nogle af de historier han skrev I sin karrieres tidlige år blev trykt under psudonymet Harrison Denmark, et navn vi alle kan godkende. Zelazny vandt mange priser for sine historier, men hans mest kendte verden er stadig "Amber" bøgerne, som startede med "Nine Princes in Amber" fra 1970. Det blev oprindeligt til fem bøger I serien, men efter nogle års pause skrev han endnu en serie på fem. Alle ti bøger er nu blevet samlet I "The Great Book of Amber." Romanen "Lord of Light" er en anden af Zelazny's mest roste bøger.
