The Hugo Award, the Seiun Award, the Geffen Award. “This Immortal” The world after the Third World War. Cities are destroyed, and mutants inhabit the radioactive wastelands. Most people have emigrated to other planets, and Earth has become a trendy tourist destination...
for the wealthy from other corners of the universe. Conrad Nomikos, the commissioner for cultural affairs and a man with a mysterious past, is forced to be a guide for an alien nobleman on his journey, the outcome of which may save or destroy the planet. “The Valley of Curses” Devil Tanner is not the kind of person you would mistake for a hero: he is a car thief, a smuggler, and a cold-blooded killer. You would also never think of Devil Tanner as a humanist. He faces life imprisonment for various crimes and is faced with a choice: spend his remaining years in a tiny prison cell or travel across the country to deliver a container of vaccine to Boston… if, of course, anyone is still alive there. But don’t take this mercy mission for a typical road trip— not now, when every deadly mile between Los Angeles and the East Coast is fraught with radioactive storms, packs of predatory mutants, and raider gangs. This is no longer America. This is the valley of curses. “Vivid and full of hidden meanings… If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Philip Marlowe were Odysseus… Here’s a clue to the answer.” — New Worlds “Roger Zelazny is the best author of the New Wave, so bold that I can’t say anything that wouldn’t offend conservatives… A writer as strong as he is stunningly ambitious in his plots and imagery.” — David Brin Ancient mythology, post-apocalypse, and the fate of humanity— two imagination-stirring and dynamic works under one cover. Serial design, white paper, embossing and varnish on the cover, new edition of the works – a lost chapter has been added, which is published in Russian for the first time.
