“Zelazny is the author who has influenced me and my writing the most.”
-Neil Gaiman-
“A unique storyteller. Creator of worlds more colorful, exotic and unforgettable than our species has ever seen.”

“Zelazny is one of those rare writers who is a jack of all trades.”
- Samuel R. Delany - Hugo Award for Best Novel
“DO YOU NOT SEE THAT, IN THE LAST DAYS OF LIFE HERE ON THIS PLANET, LIFE AND LEGEND ARE INTERESTING?”
Roger Zelazny is a unique writer who has made a habit of adapting different mythologies into science fiction novels, something that many writers can only dream of. Blended with Greek mythology, This Immortal is one of the milestones in science fiction, as it is Zelazny's first novel and shares the Hugo Best Novel Award with a masterpiece like Dune .
Nuclear war has nearly destroyed the Earth, leaving behind only four million humans and many more mutated species. For the Vegans, one of the most powerful alien races in the universe, this ruined planet is now no different than a tourist area.
When given the task of guiding an influential Vegan around the world, Conrad Nomikos, at the crux of all the unknown, reluctantly accepts this order. In this journey, the fate of Conrad and the Earth will be reshaped because Conrad is not just a human being nor is this journey just a touristic trip.
Can a mortal save the Earth, which is in the grip of death? Is it better to perish than to fall into captivity?
