God of Light

"A magnificent example of Zelazny's genius. The characters are intriguing and dazzling… God of Light… a masterpiece."
-Salisbury (NC) Post-

"Roger Zelazny is one of the best storytellers of science fiction. He is almost a poet with his vast and instinctive language!"
-Greg Bear-

"One of the five best science fiction novels ever written."
-George RR Martin-

"Fun and cleverly written. A novel that will make you want to be a writer after reading it."
-Neil Gaiman-

"He never claimed to be a god. Although he never claimed to be a god either."

Roger Zelazny is a unique writer who has made a habit of adapting many different mythologies into his science fiction novels, something that many writers can only dream of. Blended with Indian mythology, The God of Light is a unique novel that changes not only science fiction but all speculative fiction. It not only provided the idea for American Gods, which is considered Gaiman's best novel, but also inspired name games between gods and humans. The God of Light in Martin's epic series A Song of Ice and Fire also takes his name from this novel, just as Sam Tarly takes his name from the protagonist of this novel, Sam.

It has been a long time since the world was destroyed. People who seized all the technological power on a colonized planet made themselves immortal and took control of that planet by assuming the role of Indian gods.

But there is someone who will oppose this malevolent community: Siddhartha or Mahasamatman; aka the God of Light. The God of Light is a divine intervention to deified humans.
With an afterword by George R.R. Martin.
