Le fanatisme religieux remplace la connaissance scientifique. Mais si vous voulez joindre les « dieux », utilisez le téléphone automatique, c'est tout de même plus pratique.

Mais attention, un homme va se révolter et partir en guerre contre ces « dieux » immortels et fanatiques…

Accepting the responsibilities as ruler to the world of Amber, Corwin finds himself the target of sibling treachery, and must seek guidance in a land of visions, where a sinister prediction foretells his doom.
