Review:

"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

"One of the most satisfying reads in all Zelazny's work." —SFX

“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

“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

“A captivating, quick-read that fans of Zelazny will devour and that high fantasy readers will appreciate.” —Geeks of Doom
