About this listen
Nine Princes in Amber is the first of the 10 books that are The Chronicles of Amber; an epic fantasy series written by six-time Hugo Award winning and three-time Nebula Award winning author, Roger Zelazny.
The ten books that make up the series are told in two story arcs: The Corwin Cycle and the Merlin Cycle.
The Audible audio rendition of this classic sci-fi/fantasy series is kicked off by 2012 Audie Award nominee, Alessandro Juliani, who reads the first five books that make up the Corwin Cycle and whose narration vividly brings the world of Amber to life.
Amber is the one real world, of which all others including our own Earth are but Shadows. Amber burns in Corwin's blood. Exiled on Shadow Earth for centuries, the prince is about to return to Amber to make a mad and desperate rush upon the throne.
From Arden to the Pattern deep in Castle Amber which defines the very structure of Reality, Corwin must contend with the powers of his eight immortal brothers, all Princes of Amber. His savage path is blocked and guarded by eerie structures beyond imagining impossible realities forged by demonic assassins and staggering Forces that challenge the might of Corwin's superhuman fury.

Wow, Zelany really captures the reader (listener)
The book takes you on a journey with the protagonist. You join him on an adventure that transcends day to day life and as you earn with him of a wider world and a wider reality.
On first listen I couldn't tear myself away, akin to the best books I have read. Although this is just the first in a series, I was captured by the story and concepts and had to see where I was being taken.
The performance by Juliani is also superb, adding to the characters of the story.

Worth a listen
Highly original concept and outstanding performance. Entertaining but sometimes the prose and dialogue get a bit clunky. Worth a listen if you like the genre.

One of the best fantasy series ever written
Rodger Zelazey kicks of his Amber series with this solid piece. There are so many elements here that have been referenced by later authors that its surprising that these books are not better known. By the end of this first book you get the feeling that the author has just flexed his literary muscles and is about to get going on his real tale. Thoroughly enjoyable.
