About this listen

The Last Defender of Camelot is a collection of breathtaking stories that showcase the incredible abilities of several authors. Edited and with an introduction by award-winning author Robert Silverberg, it includes such tales as For a Breath I Tarry, and Halfjack. It also features the Hugo Award-winning 24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai, Permafrost, and Home is the Hangman. From Publishers Weekly Though SF "master of prose technique" and "paragon of the storytelling art" (in the introductory words of Robert Silverberg, himself a certified luminary) Roger Zelazny died in 1995, collections of his work appear on shelves with pleasing regularity. The Last Defender of Camelot, the fifth in the series of new Zelazny editions, offers readers 11 of what Silverberg has deemed his best stories, including "24 Views of Mt. Fuji, by Hokusai," which earned him one of his six Hugos, and 1992's "Come Back to the Killing Ground, Alice, My Love," which has not been previously collected. About the Author Roger Zelazny was a three-time Nebula Award and six-time Hugo Award-winning author of science fiction and fantasy classics, including the short stories "24 Views of Mount Fuji, by Hokusai," "Permafrost," and "Home is the Hangman." Zelazny was the bestselling author of the ten-volume Chronicles of Amber series of fantasy novels, as well as the novels Lord of Light, and Psychoshop (written with Alfred Bester). Zelazny's novel Damnation Alley served as the basis for the 1972 cult film of the same name, starring Jan Michael Vincent and George Peppard.

The emotionless voice of the virtual reader.

I am a big fan of most of Roger Zelazny's work. Unfortunately, the emotionless voice of a virtual reader greatly detracted from my enjoyment of stories. I doubt I shall ever buy another book that uses a virtual reader. Many of the words were mispronounced because they were read by a machine that doesn't actually speak English. It merely sounds out the words based on the letters, rather than the actual meanings of the words. I have multiple copies of stories by the same author, read by different people. The reader can make or break a book. Trying to save money by using a virtual reader is a losing proposition. Hire a human reader with a human voice, not a virtual reader with a machine voice.
