Title: A rollicking ride
Review: This is Roger Zelazny's masterpiece; a highly imaginative thing of beauty, Lord of Light tells its story at break-neck pace which will appease even the most easily bored reader. The language is fluid, often times poetic, and ultimately a feast for the senses. The story spans many years and depicts the epic struggle of one man who could have been god, against all those who now rule the world with an intolerant fist. Technology is precious, and hidden from the general populace who are forced to live in a sort of perpetual Dark Age so that the gods they worship may continue the turpitude that is their tyranny. The Hindu religion is used to exploit its followers and the pinnacle of its precepts--Reincarnation--degenerates into nothing more than a bargaining chip to further accentuate the gap in power. Roger Zelazny is an innovator without equal and one of the most important science fiction writers to date.
