"A storyteller without peer. He created worlds as colorful and exotic and memorable as any our genre has ever seen." -George R.R. Martin
". . . his performance was never anything other than dazzling." -Robert Silverberg
"Roger Zelazny's work excited me. It was intoxicating and delightful and unique. And it was smart." -Neil Gaiman
“Nobody else made myths real and valuable in the way Roger Zelazny could.”
—Neil Gaiman
“He writes about science as if it were magic and magic as if it were science.”
—New York Times Book Review
The author of more than 50 books and winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards, the incomparable Roger Zelazny remains one of the most revered names in sf and fantasy. Back in print at long last is the master’s classic novel Creatures of Light and Darkness. Set on a faraway world, the seminal tale of a battle between Ancient Egyptian gods, Creatures of Light and Darkness is a grand display of the imagination, wit, and audacious genius that has placed Zelazny eternally alongside Heinlein, Asimov, Phillip K. Dick, and other legendary genre masters.
