This was brilliantly proved by Roger Zelazny with his "Jack of the Shadows", a memorable and original combination of the two genres, written with the usual flair for the author. In it, he creates another memorable hero worthy of brother Corwin from “Amber” and Sam from “The Prince of Light”, and the world in which he lives is one of the most exotic and colorful landscapes of Roger. Mandatory reading for all fans of the master" . George R. R. Martin PDF A4 format saved the publishing layout of the book.
