Nine Princes in Amber is the first of the 10 books that are The
Chronicles of Amber; an epic fantasy series written by six-time Hugo
Award winning and three-time Nebula Award winning author, Roger Zelazny.
The ten books that make up the series are told in two story arcs: The
Corwin Cycle and the Merlin Cycle.
The Audible audio rendition of this classic sci-fi/fantasy series is
kicked off by 2012 Audie Award nominee, Alessandro Juliani, who reads
the first five books that make up the Corwin Cycle and whose narration
vividly brings the world of Amber to life.
Amber is the one real world, of which all others including our own Earth
are but Shadows. Amber burns in Corwin's blood. Exiled on Shadow Earth
for centuries, the prince is about to return to Amber to make a mad and
desperate rush upon the throne.
From Arden to the Pattern deep in Castle Amber which defines the very
structure of Reality, Corwin must contend with the powers of his eight
immortal brothers, all Princes of Amber. His savage path is blocked and
guarded by eerie structures beyond imagining impossible realities forged
by demonic assassins and staggering Forces that challenge the might of
Corwin's superhuman fury.
