Roger Zelazny Series Page

Adventures in Amber: Tripping the Life Fantastic

A man wakes in a hospital with no memory of who or what he is. As he tries to establish his identity he discovers that all is no as it seems -- not even himself.

The royal family of Amber, the rulers of the true world are capable of moving between realities, living long lives and communicating through a set of specially created tarot cards.

The adventures of Amber's royal family, centred around the character of Corwin, are a combination of fantasy and trippiness. The series was so successful that when it finished, Zelazny started all over again with Corwin's son. By the end of the first cycle of books the descriptions of the various environments do nothing but slow down the action, however the early books especially offer an entertaining view of the universe.
