Lord of Light


Title: Lord of Light
Author: Roger Zelazny
Genre: Sci-Fi
Synopsis: The Gods worshiped on a distant planet are in fact the first settlers from way back that had superior technology. They keep this from the population and rule with a strict caste system.
Verdict: Really liked the theological premise and how the different faiths were portrayed (Hindu, Buddhist and Christian especially). The oppressive tendency of blind faith and corrupting nature of power are evident and all is done with good humor. Battle scenes went on some.
