The Wanderer
Zelazny's Worlds
Opinions please?
Anyway, I became decidedly irritated with this book during the first half, because I found it very difficult to get into. Several different story lines are set running, and the author throws in lots of beings, concepts and other names with no description or explanation as to what they are.
Along with "A Deepness in the Sky" it's one of the best written by anyone in the past couple of decades. MHO only of course.

Loved this book. Loved A Deepness in the Sky twice as much.<snip>
I read on Wikipedia that his next novel will be a sequel to A Fire Upon the Deep. I absolutely cannot wait.<snip>

I agree
I didn't like A Fire Upon the Deep, I think it was the dog-like aliens that made it bad for me. However A Deepness in The Sky is a fantastic book.
I don't know, a number of things can't be dramatized all that well.Id love to see this as movie or Miniseries.
