review 1: Gave up on this long ago. It's Zelazny at his worst not his best. Unlikable characters involved in a preposterous plot. That could still be fun but in this case the writing is leaden, the pacing slow, and there is very little, other than uncovering the identity of the killer, to hold the reader's attention. Halfway through the book I just stopped caring who the killer might be so I stopped reading the book.
review 2: A posthumously-discovered manuscript, "Dead Man's Brother" is a departure for Zelazny in that it is a straight international spy thriller. While not a stand-out in any respect, it's a fun little story, with Zelazny's usual lovely language. I took a bit of pleasure replacing the main character's name with Carl Corey and imagining this as one o... moref amnesiac Corwin's adventures during his time on Shadow Earth. less
