Two stories by the Hugo and Nebula Award winning author Roger Zelazny following the development of an evil wizard's baby taken to earth unaware of his dark magic past. He returns to his home land and is a powerful sorcerer, but he has many enemies and one want him dead... In 'Changling', the people had long suffered under Det Morson's power...lived in terror of his dragons and other minions. When at last, the wizard Mor joined the fight, Det and his infamous Rondoval castle were destroyed. But the victory was not complete, for the conquerors found a baby amidst the rubble: Det's son, Pol. Unwilling to kill the child, Mor took him to a world where the ways of magic were considered mere legends - a world called Earth. Years later, the boy grew to become Daniel Chain, a nightclub guitarist possessing mental energies he doesn't understand. But those mental abilities will soon determine his fate in a terrifying clash of power...on a world which, as yet, he knows nothing about. In 'Madwand' Pol Detson, son of Lord Det of Rondovel, has come home. He is now a powerful sorceror of unsurpassed natural ability - in a world where the power of magic is the only kind that matters. But Pol is sti… (más)

For Zelazny, not his best, not by a long shot. Very formulaic with vestiges of the powerful characters of his past thrown in.I suppose he was after something deeper--more profound?-- in the war between fantasy and tech that gets played out in the novel. But really hard to imagine that the author of Lord of Light also wrote this. ( )

Great premise - a mix of cliche and originality.

It just never goes anywhere. You keep expecting more and never get it.

I was hoping for a great book after the first chapter or two, and ended up disappointed. ( )

Babies switched by a Merlin-type character grow up in separate worlds, but twenty years later are headed for a showdown.

I liked the characters, especially the supporting cast, and the slightly wacky plot. ( )

This is one of Zelazny's openly comic efforts, poking some fun at fantasy novel cliches but also showing a number of more serious themes that will be familiar to readers who have read Zelazny more widely than just the Amber series. For example, opposites seperated and in tension (magic and technology, as in Jack of Shadows) and arch-villians who don't start off intrinsically evil. The latter is perhaps the more interesting in this case; the development from mis-understood well-meaning kid genius to megalomaniac adult is very convincingly handled and not something generally tackled in high fantasy. This also might seem familiar from Jack of Shadows, but this time there is a seperate protagonist who contrasts the eventual antagonist in many ways.

It's a fun read and neither the best nor the worst of Zelazny. ( )
