Description

This Immortal by Roger Zelazny

Winner of the Hugo Award, This Immortal marks the remarkable debut of Roger Zelazny, the acclaimed author behind the Chronicles of Amber series. This groundbreaking science fiction novel combines mythology, noir detective sensibilities, and post-apocalyptic storytelling into an unforgettable narrative.

The Story

Conrad Nomikos serves as Arts Commissioner on a devastated Earth, carrying secrets from a long and complex past he prefers to keep hidden. His latest assignment forces him into an uncomfortable position: escorting an alien dignitary on a tour through Earth's ruins. What begins as an unwanted diplomatic duty quickly evolves into something far more dangerous, placing Conrad at the center of political intrigue that could determine humanity's future.

Critical Acclaim

"Vivid and elliptical... If you've ever asked yourself what would have happened if Philip Marlowe had been Odysseus... here is a clue to the answer." - New Worlds

"Roger Zelazny was the compleat New Wave author, so daring he could pen nothing without perturbing some creaky icon... so strong a writer, so moving in the sweep of his plots and imagery." - David Brin

About the Author

Roger Zelazny established himself as one of science fiction's most innovative voices with this Hugo Award-winning first novel.
