Title: Awesome Story
Review: I picked this up a few days ago and have briskly read through the entire novel since then. This is undoubtedly an epic masterpiece. It is one of the best science fiction books I have read to date. The main strength of the novel is a strong story with an excellent setting. The world is one of ancient religions, literal god-like beings, and advanced technology hiding under the mask of supernatural power. I will not spoil the story but will only say that it is told on an epic Lord of the Rings type scale. The allusions to Eastern philosophy and religion is pretty awesome too. For a sci-fi novel the characters were pretty good. They weren't great like in a Dostoevsky novel, but they weren't completely one-dimensional as is the case in too many sci fi novels. In all, it was masterful. If I ever become a sci fi author, Roger Zalazny would be one of my primary role models.
