Doorways in the Sand / Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny

[Drunk Monk]

I think Zelazny's Jack of Shadows was the first book I ever had to search for. It was in high school, the D&D years, and I was looking to find out about this RPG character called Shadowjack, but the book was only available in a UK printing back then. I liked the book, probably still have it in my stack of soon-to-be sold paperbacks, and went on to read Doorways and Lord, but niether worked as well for me. Perhaps it was because I didn't know as much about the back stories as I do now. Maybe I'd enjoy them now. Maybe not.

I am of no opinion on Harlan since I've read so little of him. I liked his Star Trek episodes.
