Zelazny novel published posthumously
A mystery novel by a leading science fiction writer from Ohio has been published almost 14 years after his death. An agent found the 1971 manuscript by Roger Zelazny two years ago, among old papers in a cardboard box at a New York warehouse.
Hard Case Crime published the book in February under the title "The Dead Man’s Brother," a mystery about an art smuggler-turned-dealer who ends up working with the federal government.
Zelazny fans who have read the novel say it incorporates the author’s writing style. He wrote more than 50 books and 150 short stories, won several of the genre’s top awards and helped to pioneer "New Wave" science fiction by delving into the psychology of his characters.
Zelazny was writing science fiction and fantasy works at the time the story was written, and he intended to come back to it but never did.
Roger Joseph Zelazny was born in Ohio on May the 13th, 1937. Zelazny’s most celebrated fantasy works are The Amber Chronicles. He has inspired younger fantasy writers, with George R. R. Martin and Neil Gaiman being heavily influenced by his work.
