Column Containing Books The Last Defender of Camelot

SF & Fantasy short stories, several of which won awards. As always, he's a great read. The title story is his take on the Arthurian Legend & is, as always, unique. Other stories take fantasy into SF & vice versa in strange ways with a deft touch. He's one of the few authors that was a master of both the novel & short story.

Short stories.

I read a recent Kindle edition of the book. For some incomprehensible reason it contains completely different stories than all other editions - other than the titular one. Two of the stories here miss several words in the beginning. To put it in other terms, this edition sucks. Following is the list of stories and their brief description.Comes Now the Power.A guy lost his superpowers and needs somebody similar to him to help him regain it.

I've been hesitating on this, since I haven't been sure whether to give it 3 or 4 stars. I like his fertile, even weird imagination, but here or there it became a bit too much for me in the sense that he went either into territory that became slightly obscure, or just-too- implausible, but on the other hand, isn't that what SF/speculative fantasy is all about?I'm actually giving it 3.5 stars, the system is forcing me to round it up. :P

Collection of fantasy & science fiction short stories by Roger Zelazny, who was one of the cited literary influences on Gary Gygax and the original Dungeons and Dragons.I really enjoyed his writing style and am interested in reading some of his longer novels.
