Chronicles of Amber is the title of several different omnibus anthologies of Roger Zelazny's Amber novels.
Publication history
The first English language Amber anthology was a two-volume hardcover set published in 1978 by the Science Fiction Book Club titled, The Chronicles of Amber, Volume I and ...Volume II that comprises the first five Amber novels (the "Corwin cycle"). In 1999 the same Science Fiction Book Club re-published this anthology in a single volume titled, The First Chronicles of Amber. 1999 also saw the publication of The Great Book of Amber, the Complete Amber Chronicles 1 - 10 by Harper Voyager. In 2005 the Science Fiction Book Club published a collection of the five later "Merlin cycle" novels as The Second Chronicles of Amber. The original 5-novel "Corwin cycle" has been subsequently reprinted in single volumes as the Chronicles of Amber in 2000 (Millennium) and 2008 (Gollancz).
