Roger Zelazny created the shared world and premise for this collection. He wrote the first Prelude and the Postlude and detailed the plot of each story/quest to be written by the other contributing authors. Each prelude was written by Zelazny to tie all the different stories together.

The War Against Evil Has Been Won!

In this world the millenial battle against the forces of evil has just been won, and all the hard working heroes are just about to start living very happily Forever After.

But first, you see, there's this one little problem.

To win this aforemention war against evil, four mantic object of great power had been summoned forth from the dark recesses in which they had lain secreted for a thousand years – since, in fact, the last Great War Against Evil. But there was a reason why these objects were buried so long ago: if they are left in the open for any length of time the forces that emanate from them start to combine – and Bad Things start to happen. Dinosaurs come to battle dragons and 747's eclipse the Moon – and that's just for starters. So it is that our heroes must leave hearth and home to go upon their four separate anti-quests to bury for another thousand years the powers that saved the world. And you can join them – Forever After...

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny

Roger Zelazny (1937–1995) was an American writer of fantasy and science fiction short stories and novels. He won the Nebula award three times and the Hugo award six times, including two Hugos for novels This Immortal (1965) and the novel Lord of Light (1967).

Zelazny was born in Ohio, the only child of Polish immigrant Joseph Zelazny and Irish-American Josephine Sweet. In high school, Roger Zelazny was the editor of the school newspaper and joined the Creative Writing Club. He was accepted to Columbia University in New York to study English and specialized in Elizabethan and Jacobean drama, graduating with an M.A. in 1962.

Between 1962 and 1969 Zelazny worked for the Social Security Administration in Cleveland and then in Baltimore, spending his evenings writing science fiction. He deliberately progressed from short-shorts to novelettes to novellas and finally to novel-length works by 1965. On 1969 he quit to become a full-time writer, and thereafter concentrated on writing novels in order to maintain his income.

Zelazny was married twice, in 1964 in 1966.

Zelazny was considered one of the leading lights of the ”New Wave” movement in science fiction in the 1960s. He incorporated elements from literary novels of the mainstream into his fiction, and experimented with allusion, lyricism, and mythic imagery. His stories often involved characters from myth, depicted in the modern world. Zelazny's fiction was also highly influenced by wisecracking detective fiction. He was also apt to include modern elements, such as cigarettes, in his fantasy worlds.

A frequent theme is gods or people who become gods. Another recurrent theme is the ”absent father” (or father-figure).
