Paperback. Very Good. 1st Printing. Bright/tight copy, light page age darkening, light edgewear. In "The Black Throne," Zelazny and Saberhagen have produced a unique science fantasy featuring, as its hero, an alternate-time version of Edgar Allen Poe. As if that were not tribute enough to the famous poet, all the characters and many of the scenes are borrowed directly from Poe's stories and poems. Readers with an encyclopedic knowledge of Poe will enjoy tracing the references; others will appreciate the zaniness of cramming an intelligent orangutang, a living corpse, a sorceress, the Inquisition, and a Dutch balloonist into the same plot. Zelazny and Saberhagen obviously wrote "The Black Throne" for the fun of it, and that fun makes what might otherwise have been a silly, pretentious piece of fluff an enjoyable read.
