Roger Zelazny – HUGO and NEBULA AWARD-WINNING author
Roger burst onto the SF scene in the early 1960s with a series of dazzling and groundbreaking short stories. He won his first of six Hugo Awards for Lord of Light, and soon after produced the first book of his enormously popular Amber series, Nine Princes in Amber. In addition to his Hugos, he went on to win three Nebula Awards over the course of a long and distinguished career. He died on June 14, 1995.
“Sci-fi-Fantasy master Roger Zelazny was a close friend of mine. When we wrote this novel together in 1988, we became best friends. The stories we wove together, the histories of these two remarkable mountain men, surprised us, and I can still read passages aloud and wonder how it was done—the run, the crawl, as well as the writing of the novel. It's a wonder to me, all of it.”
—Gerald Hausman
