The Road stretches from the unimaginable past to the far future, with hidden turnoffs leading to every time and place—including alternate timelines where history unfolded differently. Why the mysterious Dragons of Bel’kwinith created this infinite highway through time, or who they truly are, no one knows. But the Road has always existed, and for those who know how to find it, it always will.

Among its travelers is Red Dorakeen, a wanderer transporting mysterious cargo through the centuries while pursued by deadly assassins. As warriors, poets, outlaws, machines, and mythical creatures converge across shifting eras, Red must navigate a dizzying journey through kaleidoscopic time-streams—where cause and effect rarely travel in a straight line and danger may be waiting around any bend.

Inventive, exhilarating, and unlike any other time-travel novel, Roger Zelazny’s Roadmarks blends science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, mythology, and philosophical adventure into a brilliantly nonlinear tale. With its dazzling structure, colorful characters, surreal humor, and boundless imagination, this cult classic showcases the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author at his most audacious.

Perfect for fans of Philip K. Dick, Michael Moorcock, Samuel R. Delany, Jack Vance, and Douglas Adams, as well as readers who enjoy time-travel adventures, parallel universes, alternate histories, experimental science fiction, and genre-bending fantasy.

"A storyteller without peer. He created worlds as colorful and exotic and memorable as any our genre has ever seen."  –George R.R. Martin

". . . his performance was never anything other than dazzling."  –Robert Silverberg
