description: From the first appearances of Roger Zelazny's short fiction in the early 1960s—remarkably original stories such as the memorable A Rose for Ecclesiastes, many of which are now recognized as classics—it was clear that a dazzling new genius had burst into the field of speculative literature.Over the years, that shining talent burned brighter in novels such as Lord of Light, The Dream Master, and Creatures of Light and Darkness...works whose lyrical prose, masterful plotting and unique blend of timeless myth with cutting-edge science won Zelazny the acclaim of readers and critics alike—as well as six Hugos and three Nebulas. In the groundbreaking Amber books, he turned to fantasy, creating one of the most beloved series of all time.Sadly, Roger Zelazny was taken from us too soon. But his genius blazes on—not only in his own enduring fiction, but also in the work of fellow authors influenced by his example and touched by his friendship. Now twenty-five of those writers—including some of the most acclaimed names in SF and fantasy—come together to pay tribute to Roger Zelazny with original stories evoking the magic and wonder of his own best work.
