I'm a die-hard Zelazny fan, and when I heard that this book - written in the early 1970s, at about the same time as Today We Choose Faces and My Name Is Legion - had finally been published, I was delighted but also a little worried.

Not ALL his late novels were under par. "A Night In The Lonesome Octber", while arguably slight, is fantastically deft and great fun.
