Apollo Award winner. Nebula Award finalist. Meet Francis Sandow - the practically immortal creator of planets, one of the richest people in the galaxy of the thirty-second century, and even associated with one of the alien gods. He once created the nightmarish Isle of the Dead, embodying the morbid images of Arnold Böcklin, an earthly artist from the distant nineteenth century. And now, in order to escape from a mysterious enemy who can penetrate even into the depths of Sandow’s subconscious, he will have to leave his personal planet and visit the Island in reality, and not just in dreams. But even this threat pales in the face of a galactic pandemic, the unwitting cause of which is Dr. von Hymeck... and which only Sandow can prevent. For the first time, the complete publication of the Francis Sandow series: two novels and additional materials. New translations and new texts! The cycle about the creator of worlds Sandow is one of the peaks of the work of the science fiction classic Roger Zelazny. An omnibus, which includes a complete cycle of works about the galactic adventurer and servant of the alien god Francis Sandow. Two novels, a short story and a draft of an unpublished novel with commentary by the author. The story is about the nightmarish Island of the Dead, which Sandow himself created, and about a galactic epidemic that threatens the extinction of all intelligent species if Francis does not stop the disaster.
