Synopsis NINE PRINCES IN AMBER is the first in the classic CHRONICLES OF AMBER, a series that exemplifies the Zelazny style, in which the first-person narrator, a tough-talking, ruthless (but essentially good-hearted) man must confront a menace from his mysterious past. A man with unearthly physical strength awakens as an amnesiac after an automobile accident. Gradually, he remembers that he is Prince Corwin, one of the many magical, long-lived members of the royal family of Amber. Amber is actually the real world, and all of the parallel worlds that flow from it are merely imperfect copies, or Shadows...including our own world. Corwin must battle his way through the Shadows to his home, where he will contend with his scheming siblings for the throne of Amber.

Yet his savage path is blocked and guarded by eerie structures beyond imagining, impossible realities forged by demonic assassins, and staggering horrors to challenge the might of Corwin's superhuman fury. Unabridged.
