Roger Zelazny: Amber novels
While his earlier works won greater critical acclaim, Zelazny is probably best known for the
Amber novels. These fall into two distinct series; the second series is widely perceived as being of markedly lesser quality than the first.
The first five books describe the adventures of Prince Corwin of
Amber and comprise:*1970 Nine Princes in
Amber*1972 The Guns of Avalon*1975 Sign of the Unicorn*1976 The Hand of Oberon*1978 The Courts of Chaos
The second series tells the story of Corwin's son Merlin (Merle) - a wizard and a computer expert. These volumes are:*1985 Trumps of Doom*1986 Blood of
Amber*1987 Sign of Chaos*1989 Knight of Shadows*1991 Prince of Chaos
An interactive fiction computer game based on
Nine Princes in Amber was released by Telarium in 1987. The
Amber novels also inspired a role-playing game,
Amber Diceless Roleplaying, published by Phage Press. The game is distinctive in that it suggests that players ignore or alter any rule as they see fit.
