Roger Zelazny, był jednym z najbardziej wpływowych pisarzy fantastycznych naszych czasów. Z równą swobodą przemierzającym bezdroża niezwykłych światów fantasy, jak rozrzucone w głębi kosmosu niezliczone uniwersa odległej przyszłości. Często eksperymentując z formą zyskał miano jednego z najważniejszych i najbardziej wszechstronnych autorów Nowej Fali. Zdobył wiele nagród, w tym sześć nagród Hugo, trzy nagrody Nebula i dwie nagrody Locus. 

Niniejszy zbiór powieści, ukazuje wielką fascynację Zelaznego mitami oraz religią. Od wierzeń Indian z plemienia Navajo, poprzez inspiracje mitologią grecką, a skończywszy na niezwykłej wizji odległej przyszłości, zaludnionej przez byty zainspirowanej wierzeniami Egipcjan.

THIS IMMORTAL is Zelazny’s Hugo, Geffen, and Seiun awards-winning debut novel, and was first published in 1966.

Conrad Nomikos has a long, rich personal history that he’d rather not talk about. And, as Arts Commissioner, he’s been given a job he’d rather not do. Escorting an alien grandee on a guided tour of the shattered remains of Earth is not something he relishes-especially when it is apparent that this places him at the center of high-level intrigue that has some bearing on the future of Earth itself!

CREATURES OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS was first published in 1969.

In the House of the Dead he has been given a name. That name is Wakim, but Wakim knows that this name is not his true name not the name that he carried with him in life. Wakim has been commanded by his master Anubus to find and destroy The Prince Who Was A Thousand. Wakim leaves the House of the Dead intent on carrying out his mission to destroy The Prince Who Was A Thousand, but he has a second personal mission… to find his true name. And if he does Wakim cannot even imagine how that will change everything…

ISLE OF THE DEAD was first published in 1969, and is the first novel featuring Francis Sandow. It was nominated for a Nebula Award, and won the Prix Apollo.

Centuries in the future, Francis Sandow is the only man alive who was born as long ago as the 20th century. His body is kept young and in perfect health by advanced scientific methods; he has amassed such a fortune that he can own entire planets; and he has become a god. No, not a god of Earth, but one of the panetheon of the alien Pei’ans: he is Shimbo of Darktree, Shrugger of Thunders. Yet he doesn’t believe that his personality has merged with the ancient consciousness of Shimbo, that he really can call down the skies upon his enemies.

The time comes, however, when Francis Sandow must use these powers against the most dangerous antagonist in the universe: another Pei’an god — Shimbo’s own enemy, Belion. And Belion has no doubt whatever of his own powers…

EYE OF CAT was first published in 1982.

William Blackhorse Singer, the last Navajo on a future Earth, is called upon to aid in protecting an alien diplomat from a powerful and hostile member of his own species. With the aid of a shape-shifting alien known as “Cat,” he carries out the mission, with one condition: when the mission is over, Cat wants a return bout with the man who captured him, a chase with Singer as the hunted instead of the hunter…
