Isle of the Dead by Roger Zelazny

"Zelazny, telling of gods and wizards, uses magical words as if he were himself a wizard. He reaches into the subconscious and invokes archetypes to make the hair rise on the back of your neck. Yet these archetypes are transmuted into a science fictional world that is as believable-and as awe-inspiring-as the world you now live in. Zelazny, like any writer worth his salt, or any human being who isn't afraid to think, wrestles with immortality and dares the numinous."-PHILIP JOSE FARMER"Roger Zelazny can be as realistic as Hemingway, as fanciful as Kenneth Graham; he is by turns a hard-nosed naturalist and a poet of exquisite sensibility. ISLE OF THE DEAD is a book with illimitable excellences."-THOMAS BURNETT SWANN"If you can identify with the hero of this book-and Zelazny will see to it that you can-you will find yourself intensely human, one of the richest men in the universe, and ultimately (perhaps or quite) a god." -THEODORE STURGEONISLE OF THE DEAD Condition: Acceptable.
