What They're Saying
Critics Review
“The story is fast-paced and compelling at every turn, proof that good science fiction–despite the technological advances of intervening years–is timeless.” – Foreword Reviews
“Jack of Shadows receives a full recommendation as a “must read” for any science fiction or fantasy fan, especially those who like to imagine what lies just beyond our reality.” –Nerdophiles“One of the most satisfying reads in all Zelazny’s work.” –SFX“The story is fast-paced and compelling at every turn, proof that good science fiction–despite the technological advances of intervening years–is timeless.” –Foreword Reviews“These days publishers like to build walls between science fiction and fantasy, but they are really two sides of the same coin… as Roger Zelazny proved brilliantly in Jack of Shadows, an evocative and original blend of the two genres, written with the usual Zelazny panache. In Shadowjack he creates another memorable hero, a worthy brother to Corwin of Amber and Sam of Lord of Light, and the world he inhabits is one of Roger’s most exotic and colorful landscapes. A must read for all fans of the master.” –George R.R. Martin
