The Last Defender of Camelot

One of the greatest storytellers of our time, Roger Zelazny was a writer who created entire civilizations from whole cloth as masterfully as he explored humankind's place in the cosmos. From the depths of space to the depths of the human heart, from our darkest nightmares to our most fanciful dreams, Zelazny wove colorful tapestries that presented the wonders of the universe to us all.

The Last Defender of Camelot is a new collection of breathtaking stories that showcase these abilities, edited and with an introduction by award-winning author Robert Silverberg. Included are such tales as: "For a Breath I Tarry," "Halfjack," and the Hugo Award-winning "24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai," "Permafrost" "Home is the Hangman."
