Specificatii
Fans of the late Roger Zelazny's popular Amber series should flock
to this workmanlike, authorized prequel, the first of a projected
trilogy, by Betancourt (Infection and three other Star Trek
novels). Readers familiar with the heroes Corwin and Merlin from
the earlier books will soon catch on that Betancourt's protagonist,
the Conan-like Oberon (aka Obere), will one day be their father. In
the realm of Chaos, Obere is as handy with his sword as with his
sweethearts, serving the king of an outlying world. He is innocent
of the magic that rules in his universe until he discovers he is
not an orphan but has a nearly 200-year-old father, Dworkin, with
vast magical abilities and many progeny from a wide assortment of
mothers. Not all these siblings are loving, Obere finds. Betancourt
captures the fantastic nature of the original and peppers his story
with Amber-familiar terms such as Logrus, that mystical gift which
enables its holders to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks and
travel vast distances instantly; Trumps, the illustrated cards that
assist those with Logrus to travel and even to foretell the future;
and Courts of Chaos, the center of this pre-Amberian world. The
narrative may lack the sparkling wit of its predecessors, but the
cliffhanger ending should leave the faithful hungry for the next
installment. Snatched from the jaws of death by the mysterious
figure he knows only as Dworkin, young Obere travels to the realm
of Juniper, one of the lands of Shadow that mirror the Courts of
Chaos. There he learns his true identity and his flawed heritage
and meets his eccentric and magically powerful family for the first
time. Working under authorization from the estate of the late Roger
Zelazny, Betancourt inaugurates a new series that takes place in
the popular world of the Amber novels. Exploring the origins of
Amber itself and the nature of the world's most enigmatic
character, Dworkin the mad, Betancourt creates a thrill-a-minute
series opener that should appeal to longtime fans of the previous
series. For most fantasy collections. --Library Journal
