Piece Out Of Books The Last Defender of Camelot

A collection of Zelazny's short fiction, each story introduced by the author himself. The stories date from the beginning of his career into the 1980s. There are some great stories here: the title tale is an imaginative tale of what might happen when the wizard Merlin awakes from 1000 years enchantment. He Who Shapes is a novella later expanded into the novel, The Dream Master, not one of my favourite Zelazny novels, but it works better in this shorter original form. My favourite tale in the

I've been hesitating on this, since I haven't been sure whether to give it 3 or 4 stars. I like his fertile, even weird imagination, but here or there it became a bit too much for me in the sense that he went either into territory that became slightly obscure, or just-too- implausible, but on the other hand, isn't that what SF/speculative fantasy is all about?I'm actually giving it 3.5 stars, the system is forcing me to round it up. :P

A collection of short stories. Among its best: 24 Views of Mount Fuji, For A Breath I Tarry, Last Defender of Camelot.

Big standout was 24 views of Mt. Fuji for me, but I bought this collection just because it had that story in it. The other stories were good, probably closer to 3/5, but 24 Views surpassed my expectations so we'll meet in the middle at 4/5. Zelazny had such a way envisioning a future that has been unmatched by any other writers in his field. His blending of eastern culture and religion with western influences and then thrown into a sci-fi story is really an experience worth having.

I only enjoyed a few of the short stories in this book. Not enough to keep it though. Bye bye!

Master of short storytelling!As with all anthologies of well written short stories, I had to take my time with this book, pausing between each one to let it sink in. I believe that the full power of the short story is best demonstrated in science fiction shorts because they cannot rely on the reader to fill in the setting and society but must build an entire world in a few thousand words. Zelazny is a master at that. I did not swoon over every story, some were more tchnical in focus than I

A Great ChallengeZelazny is never an easy read, but his work is always worth the effort.His short fiction exemplifies that, taking half the tale to figure what is happening before burying the reader in a powerful tale that lasts for years.Read it.
