Product Description

Product Description

Conrad Nomikos has a long, rich personal history that he'd rather not talk about. He has also been given a job that he'd rather not do. Escorting an alien grandee on a guided tour around the shattered remains of Earth after a catastrophic nuclear war is not something he relishes. Especially when it it rapidly becomes clear that he is at the centre of high-level intrigue that could determine the future of Earth itself. But Conrad Nomikos is a very special guy and he's been around - for a very long time.


About the Author

Roger Zelazny (1937-1995) studied Elizabethan and Jacobean drama at Columbia University before bursting on to the science fiction scene while still in his mid-twenties. Among his many books are Four for Tomorrow, The Dream Master, A Rose for Ecclesiastes and the many titles in the Chronicle of Amber.

5.0 out of 5 stars Words can't express..., 8 April 2001
OK. So there's an immortal, and there's myth surrounding this, and the earth is largely radioactive following an event Zelazny allows you to figure out for yourself, and that's not even the main thrust of the book. Zelazny writes the sort of prose your eyes slide over without strain, but still makes you think; nothing is over-explained and this book isn't for those who don't want their reading to make them think, but... it's beautifully done. A great story, brilliant characters, and an incredible skill with writing. Zelazny is superb; easily one of the best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Slings at Dawn, 22 Dec 2008
By sft (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This Immortal (Paperback)
This isn't Zelazny's best and it still surprises me, on rereading, that it gained the Hugo Award for best novel. What this book does, however, is break the ground for his better work which was yet to come. Here we see his early efforts at a mix of SF, fantasy, and real and imaginary mythology that was to become a hallmark of much of his oeuvre. This Immortal is a slight book but it's worth reading as part of an overview of Zelazny's development as a writer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Zelazny's first novel is a must have, IMHO., 12 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: This Immortal (SF alternatives) (Hardcover)
Well, he was only 29 when he wrote this book, and it's not as great as some of his later ones, but, it's -again- a book that proves that good SF is just good literature. Great, real characters, a lot of Greece (that counts for me, cause Im Greek) and a lot of questions about ancient civilization answered. This book isn't just a story. Like his book "The Lord of Light" (about indian gods) it's the soul of a real people in a futuristic set.

In 1966, this shared the Hugo with Dune. It's hard to image such a slim volume sharing the limelight with today's heavyweight contenders, but the storytelling is still... Read more
