Sign of Chaos

The Chronicles of Amber #8

by Roger Zelazny

Following the cliffhanger ending of Blood of Amber, Merlin is stranded in surrealistic Alice in Wonderland-esque bar where the Mad Hatter serves cocktails. Managing to escape, Merlin meets new family members - one of whom is intent on killing him. As events escalates, Merlin finds himself surrounded by his worst enemies including his ex-girlfriend - back from the dead.

Merlin se cufundă într-o halucinație alături de Luke, fiecare putere folosită ori încercare de a găsi o logică pentru ce se întâmplă în jur dovedindu-se a fi o zbatere în nisipuri mișcătoare. Și ca tabloul să fie complet, o creatură malefică din Haos îi urmărește pe cei doi. Între timp, se bănuiește că unul din frații săi încearcă să îl asasineze. Însă cea mai surprinzătoare veste este legată de Julia, fosta sa iubită.

Reviews

[Eloise Sunshine]

Selle raamatu huvitavamaid mõtteid võiks olla ehk:
"Kui teil oleks võimalik valida kahe võime, vale märkamise ja tõe avastamise vahel, siis kumma te võtaksite? Kunagi ma uskusin, et need on erinevad sõnastused sama asja kohta, aga nüüd ma enam nii ei arva. Näiteks on suurem osa mu sugulastest ühtviisi osavad nii ettekäänete läbinägemises kui nende esitamises. Ma ei ole aga üldse kindel, et nad tõest eriti hooliksid. Teisalt aga on mulle alati tundunud, et tõe otsimises on midagi õilsat, erilist ja auväärset - ning seda püüdsin ma saavutada ka oma Tondirattaga." (lk 34)

Aga siin jällegi oli! Mingi aff (autor loomulikult) pani tempoka ja sisuka absurdipiiril (teisel pool normaalsuse piiri piirile lähenevale) pesitsevale loole clif hangeri lõppu ja mul pole järgmist raamatut maal kaasas... Ootan kannatamatult homset pärastlõunat, et üheksandaga jätkata.
