Donnerjack — (1997) Roger Zelazny and Jane Lindskold. Publisher: This “new” Roger Zelazny work was finished posthumously with the help of his coauthor and friend, Jane Lindskold. Unlike some after-the-fact “collaborations,” this one has Zelazny written all over it. It’s a typical tale from one of science fiction’s greats, a world-spanning story that deals heavily with mythology and the ability to cross between two realities. In this case the realities are the real world, Verité, and the virtual world, Virtù. When Donnerjack — one of the architects of Virtù — loses his lover Ayradyss, he makes a pact with Death to return her from the dead. In return, Death demands their first-born child, who will be the first baby born from a Verité/Virtù union, and a force to be reckoned with in both worlds.
Lord Demon — (1999) Roger Zelazny and Jane Lindskold. Publisher: Seeking revenge for the murder of his devoted human servant, Kai Wren, the great demon warrior, is forced into a series of dangerous alliances in order to preserve the Demon Realms, but he has been weakened by years of peace and the threat of betrayal among his closest companions.
