Roger Zelazny

After what seemed most of an eternity he woke up in a hospital not knowing who he was or how he got there. He was absolutely certain, however, that his life depended on getting out of that hospital and finding out who he was. And so starts an epic adventure in one of science fiction and fantasy’s most revered series, The Chronicles of Amber. Amber is the one true world of which all others are but shadows reflecting it down through the multi-verse. The royal family of Amber, almost god like beings, have powers over shadow and may move freely through shadow. But despite all the power at their command the shadows can become dangerous even for them.

Roger Zelazny was a science fiction and fantasy writer, a six time Hugo Award winner, and a three time Nebula Award Winner. He published more than forty novels in his lifetime. His first novel This Immortal, serialized in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction under the title “...And Call Me Conrad,” won the Hugo Award for best novel. Lord of Light, his third novel, also won the Hugo award and was nominated for the Nebula award. He died at age 58 from colon cancer. Zelazny was posthumously inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2010.

Chronicles of Amber

Nine Princes in Amber: The Chronicles of Amber  Book One

Welcome back to Amber, the one true world of which all others are but shadows and reflections. The Chronicles of Amber is an deeply influential fantasy series beloved by millions of readers.

 Trumps of Doom is book 6 of the Amber series and first narrated by Merlin, son of Corwin. 

 Merlin knows that someone is going to try and kill him. He knows this because it’s April 30th and someone tries to kill him every April 30th. He has no idea who wants to kill him, why they want to kill him, or why they only try to kill him once a year. But this year he intends to find out and put a stop to it. 

 Little does Merlin know that he is about to launch himself into an adventure full of danger, intrigue, royal politics, magic, and deceit that will take him across the multiverse and back. There is far more afoot that Merlin can imagine . . . and thus continues one of the greatest series ever written. 

 This Kindle edition restores the prologue that, until now, ran only in a special limited edition. A must for all Zelazny fans!

When the Jabberwock appears Merlin’s head clears just enough to realize that he’s caught in Luke’s LSD-inspired hallucination. When a Fire Angel, one of the most powerful, magical killing beasts in existence, arrives to kill him he realizes that he has to do something quick or both he and Luke are finished. The Jabberwock becomes an unlikely ally in his battle with the Fire Angel. And this is only the beginning of Merlin’s magical adventures in Sign of Chaos.
