 ... lengthy indeed, is now somewhat shorter than average length for a novel on the market. Thankfully, however, the book still conveys the feel of an epic, even if not the page count of one; this is an achievement which has not deteriorated over the roughly 35 years since this book was written, and nor would I expect it to deteriorate over the years to come. In fact, through a use of (religiously) disguised technology with a lack of reference to the techniques or technical names behind it, Zelazny has managed to create a t...more

The book centres around a planet which is Indian-ethnic, but despite having travelled from Earth, it's people live in the ancient tradition of Hindus. Not only do they believe in the Hindu gods however, ...
