Review Quotes

"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)
