The pinnacle of science fiction imagination and fantasy language! Roger Zelazny's most poetic work. He pioneered the introduction of myths, legends, psychology and sociology concepts into the field of science fiction. With magnificent words, grand settings and majestic storylines, he opened up a whole new world for science fiction literature.
In order to protect his kingdom, Anubis, the master of the House of Death, sent out servants. Meanwhile, Osiris, master of the House of Life, sent his son Horus for the same purpose. They must immediately and permanently destroy their old enemy, the one-time Thousand Princes.
However, neither of them knew that in the darkness, the Night Crying Thing was already lurking, preparing to destroy the world of life and death, as well as all human beings.
Reader comments
Similar to the style of King of Light, it uses grand imagery of science fiction and mythology to convey philosophical mysteries.
However, it is not as good as "The King of Light" in terms of length and content. If you are interested in this author's style, it is recommended to read "The King of Light" first.
But if you like the King of Light, don't miss this story
I especially like the setting of the House of Death and the House of Life in the book, as well as the tense and exciting confrontation between Anubis and Osiris. Moreover, the description of the things that cry in the night in the book is creepy and imaginative. Overall, this is a great book worth reading!
