Summary: A futuristic spy story in 3 acts.
Review: In an era in which everithing is under computer control you meet a spy, which accoplishes "dirty" jobs for the authorities. This is only the beginning, and it goes on with Zealzny's style: suggestive ambeintations, characters nicely portraited and a lot of passages which force you to think. A good reading, for SF lovers.

Summary: One of Zelazny's "lighter" books
Review: Roger Zelazny is one of my favourite authors, and this is one of my favourites of his work. Thought-provoking but not too much so, with reasonably fast-paced action and moderate depth.

Review: This book is made up of the three novella's published elsewhere. They all involve an unnamed protagonist who has no record of his existence. The first one, "The Eve of Rumoko" is an entertaining suspense story which introduces us to the hero and gives us a thrilling plot without sacrficing style or depth of character. The second, "Kjawlll'kje'k'koothai'lll'kjr'k," is by far the weakest of the stories a not very intriguing mystery not really comparable to the other two. However "Home is the Hangman," the third story is excellent despite it's B-moviesh plot (killer robot from outer space). Zelazny manages to use this set to explore the nature of the human psyche while being thrilling and exciting at the same time.
