Synopsis
|
A
distant world
where gods walk as
men, but wield
vast and hidden
powers. Are
they truly
immortal?
Who are these gods
who rule the
destiny of a
teeming
world? Their
names include
Brahma, Kali,
Krishna and also
he who was called
Buddha, the Lord
of Light, but who
now prefers to be
known simply as
Sam. How has
the colonization
of another planet
become a
re-enactment of
Eastern religion
and mythology? |

Review
|
Winner
of the Hugo Award
'No outline
gives more than a
slight idea of the
brilliance of Lord
of Light, of
the mimicked Hindu
culture which is
both splendidly
described and
splendidly
explained in the
purest science
fiction terms'
Joanna Russ
'Roger
Zelazny's most
sustained single
tale, richly
conceived and
plotted,
exhilarating
throughout its
considerable
length'
John Clute, The
Encyclopedia of
Science Fiction |
