Publisher's Summary

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.

Great Series! The NEXT Game of Thrones!

Love this series have read it many times. It should be the next Game of Thrones, has all the elements.
The audio was good, some of the voices seemed off. (Julian's was espically off). But I'm anxious to listen to the next one.

To short

Great storytelling my only complaint is it’s too short for the price. But otherwise a great listen.

old school and unique

Very cool. Not quite like anything else I've ever encountered. Made me understand why people speak highly of Roger Zelazny.
Some aspects felt a little dated, but on the plus side it's fast paced and never boring.
