Summary: It grows on you
Comment: The back cover copy confused me so badly I had to go back and re-read the book as soon as I had finished it--it was a great investment. Conrad is a convincing hero--he is willing to sacrifice anything to save the Earth he believes in--including himself and just about everything else he values. He'll even make a deal with the hated invaders--the Vegans--if it will help him. Not that Earth is any great shakes. After the Vegan invasion and Conrad's nuclear terrorism, radioactivity, poverty, and mutation make this an early distopian vision. Zelazny is an awesome writer. Although his Amber novels are currently more popular, and although LORD OF LIGHT may have appealed more to the 1970s crowd, THIS IMMORTAL has to be ranked as one of his best, and as one of the best of Science Fiction from the 60s. It's hard to find but worth it.

Summary: OUT-OF-SIGHT!!!
Comment: What can I say--I have just finished reading "This Immortal" for the third time and its every bit as good a read as the first time! Zelazny's style is fast and witty. His characters well developed and intriging. His descriptive nature tart and fast-- Zelazny can describe in one sentence what Stephen King takes to describe in two or three pages. A fast and fun rollercoaster ride, this book remains a classic and anyone who reads this book can see why it tied Dune for the Hugo Award. So what if its not a sprawling space epic--it perfectly sums up the other extreme! And no I will NOT tell you the plot-read it yourself!

Summary: One of Zelazny's all-time bests
Comment: Read it. It's funny and smart. I notice from the other comments that it may be too smart for some. Oh well, that's what you get from Zelazny.
