Jack of Shadows by Roger Zelazny banner

Jack of Shadows
Rediscovered Classics Series
Paperback | Kindle
By Roger Zelazny
Foreword by Joe Haldeman
Chicago Review Press
Release date: May 1, 2016

Originally published in 1971, Roger Zelazny‘s long out-of-print sci-fi/fantasy novel Jack of Shadows is a hidden gem amongst the author’s works.

Once upon a time, Ridley Scott was the man behind most great Sci-Fi movies. Since then, he’s moved on to make a whole lot of [mostly] great movies from different genres. He’s even gone so far as to say Sci-Fi was “as dead as westerns” as a genre; but now, after the Western has showed a little life, it looks as if Scott is ready to help bring Sci-Fi back as well! This could be good with another big name in older sci-fi, James Cameron, working on the highly, highly discussed and anticipate Avatar.
