This Immortal

This Immortal (or ....And Call Me Conrad) is a highly entertaining novel from early in Zelazny's writing career. The superhuman Conrad is rather similar to future Zelazny heroes, such as Corwin of Amber. The story features a ruined future Earth, where many mutated creatures seem almost mythological. The references to Greek mythology and the nature of Conrad's identity also give the story an atmosphere that seems like a mix of fantasy and science fiction influences. Conrad's task of escorting the alien Myshtigo around the Earth is full of conflict and action, but the story is also underpinned by the tension surrounding Myshtigo's true purpose. I think the novel has stood up well to the test of time, and will undoubtedly be enjoyed by many more readers in the future.
