A youth and his father emigrate from the mechanical and organized world on overpopulated Earth to become colonists on Ganymede, the third moon of Jupiter

Bestselling authors David and Leigh Eddings welcome readers back to the time before The Belgariad and The Malloreon series. Join them as they chronicle that fateful conflict between two mortally opposed Destinies, in a monumental war of men and kings and Gods. When the world was young and Gods still walked among their mortal children, a headstrong orphan boy set out to explore the world. Thus began the extraordinary adventures that would mold that youthful vagabond into a man, and the man into the finely honed instrument of Prophecy known to all the world as Belgarath the Sorcerer. Then came the dark day when the Dark God Torak split the world asunder, and the God Aldur and his disciples began their monumental labor to set Destiny aright. Foremost among their number was Belgarath. His ceaseless devotion was foredoomed to cost him that which he held most dear—even as his loyal service would extend through echoing centuries of loss, of struggle, and of ultimate triumph.

A brilliant, but eccentric scientist has invented a space/time machine and using the three space and three time co-ordinates, he has discovered a possible 666 alternative universes ...666 being associated with the biblical Beast of Revelations. Into this theme, Heinlein weaves his own galaxy of incredible ingredients - a Martian penal colony where the British empire wars with Imperial Russia; a universe with no letter "I"; Multiperson Pantheistic Solipsism; and the possibility that the mythical Beast may not be mythical at all...

For use in schools and libraries only. The farm boy, Garion, begins a dangerous quest to recover the magic Orb and prevent the evil Torak from seizing power over the world.

„Je iba jediný skutočný svet… všetky ostatné sú len tiene.“ Nezvyčajná urban fantasy v drsnom štýle a ostrom tóne, pripomínajúca detektívku. Krátke, vecné vety ženú dej dopredu a vnášajú napätie. Komunikácia cez hracie karty deformuje realitu, zatiaľ čo Corwin, bez pamäti, prechádza hrou priateľov a nepriateľov. V pozadí sa odohráva večný boj o trón, kde bezcharakterní zloduchovia chcú okradnúť zákonitých nasledovníkov o právo vládnuť a mať priateľov. V boji o moc sú prípustné všetky prostriedky, vrátane vražd. Amber je skutočné kráľovstvo, zatiaľ čo Zem je len jeho tieňom. Princ Corwin sa ocitá na Zemi kvôli zrady svojich súrodencov, ktorí vedú bratovražedný boj o moc. Príbeh je plný zvratov, mystiky a realismu, jeho vplyv na literatúru je porovnateľný s Pánom prsteňov. V prvej pentalógii Corwin, po autonehode s amnéziou, stretáva brata Randoma, ktorý mu otvorí cestu do Amberu. Po obnovení pamäti odhaľuje intrigy súrodencov a bojuje o trón. Počas dobrodružstiev sa zapletie s Darou, ktorá mu porodí syna Merlina. Osudy potomkov vládcu Oberona sa komplikujú zradou a bojom o moc. Merlin, syn Dary z Dvorov Chaosu, čelí dilemám medzi poriadkom a chaosom. Jeho zážitky zo sveta sci-fi, kde ako počítačový expert cestuje medzi svetmi, prekvapia novými nápadmi, kombinujúcimi prvky sci-fi s fantasy. Znalci považujú toto dielo za kultové v žánri fantasy.
