"In The Dream Master - for one of the few times in his career - Zelazny presented the counter-myth [to The Immortal], the story of the metamorphosis which fails, the Transcendence which collapses back into the mortal world. [...] All the sf apparatus of the story, and its sometimes overly baroque manner, were integrated into Zelazny's once-only unveiling of the nature of a human hero who could not perform the moult into Secret Master of the world" (SFE)
