Roger Zelazny's To Rule In Amber (Amber Prequel) by Roger, Zelazny. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780743487092.

In this volume, a new universe, with its infinite shadow reflections, is brought into being by Dworkin via the Pattern he has created with his own blood. But his creation has caused a great upheaval in the faraway Courts of Chaos. While Oberon uses Trumps to bring over family members to the relative safety of his new world, Dworkin--who has become unhinged from the extraordinary strains of creating the universe--mysteriously disappears. Assassins, shapeshifters, Pattern ghosts and double-crosses work against both Uthor and the house of Dworkin. Oberon must use all of his skills and new-found power to control the course of events, win the day, and stake his claim as the first king of Amber. "Betancourt creates a thrill-a-minute series..." --Library Journal "John Gregory Betancourts The Dawn of Amber is cause to celebrate. He is the ideal choice to assume Roger Zelaznys mantle, and The Dawn of Amber is the perfect introduction to a new series of Amber books that glow equally with the magic of Roger Zelaznys creation and John Betancourts own burgeoning talent." --Richard A. Lupoff "John Betancourt channels Zelazny? However he got it, he has the gift, and now there is a new Amber trilogy that will delight a legion of fans eager to learn how Amber came to be." --Tom Easton, Book Reviewer for ANALOG Magazine "The spirit of Zelazny lives on in Betancourts prequel. Roger Zelaznys works in the years he wrote the first Amber books were perhaps the best in SF and Fantasy of the 20th century. If youve read the Amber books, this book is a must. If you havent, this book is the best place to start." --David Bischoff, author of Aliens vs. Predator
