Lord of Light

by Roger Zelazny

Earth is long since dead. On a colony planet, a band of men has gained control of technology, made themselves immortal, and now rules their world as the gods of the Hindu pantheon. Only one dares oppose them: he who was once Siddhartha and is now Mahasamatman. Binder of Demons. Lord of Light.

Overview: Groups

Favorite Fantasy 1022 books / 1586 members / 2730 posts Let fellow Shelfarians know what you consider good fantasy novels.
The Grand Works of Science Fiction 105 books / 80 members / 17 posts This group is reserved for the writers who started the science fiction genre, as well as individual works which define it. There are other science fiction groups on Shelfari, however, this group is intended to collect all of the Grand Works of the Science Fiction (or speculative fiction for Mr. Heinlein). The main authors are Issac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, and Arthur C. Clark. Other notables are Orson Scott Card, Robert Silverberg, Philip K. Dick, and Frank Herbert, and Mary Shelley. This group includes all of the Nebula and Hugo award winners.
Overdrive: Salt Lake City 85 books / 4 members / 2 posts Overdrive has been meeting in Salt Lake City for some years. We read speculative fiction of any stripe, from manga to 1000 page tomes. We meet at the Salt Lake City main library on the first Sunday of each month at 2 pm to talk about the last book we read, and pick another book for the next month. We have a website/blog at http://overdriveslc.blogspot.com/
Hugo and Nebula Award Winners 14 books / 13 members / 7 posts Discuss the winning novels of the Hugo, Nebula and other SciFi and Fantasy award groups.
Fantasy and Sci-fi Fanatics 1092 books / 1271 members / 1366 posts I am personally addicted to fantasy and sci-fi and I created this group for people to discuss Fantasy and Sci-fi books that they have read.

I have found myself, more often than not, searching for a really good fantasy or sci-fi book, but to no avail. Starting a group not only enables me, and you, to find great books, but it also is a great way to discuss likes and dislikes about these books.


Just a warning, I will also put realistic-fiction books on the group shelf if I feel that they are as good as a fantasy or sci-fi book. MEOW!!!!!


***NOTICE***
If you are a member, or just a random person, please put any sci-fi or fantasy book that you *LOVE* on the group shelf, please!

Another thing, plez post discussions or reply to one, i'd love to hear your opinions.
