No large sf collection should be without Zelazny's latest anthology [The Last Defender of Camelot], featuring the author's own choice of stories originally published over the last two decades. A brief but engaging introduction and the remarks prefacing each story explain the origin of each work, and occasionally leave the reader mildly amazed that, for instance, a cloud formation resembling a horse and rider could conjure up the compelling tale "Horseman!" Many of the stories are quite short, but all are effective.
