Captives of the Flame ♦ By Samuel R. Delany ♦ Science Fiction ♦ Full Audiobook
Title: Captives of the Flame
Author: Samuel R. Delany
Genre(s): Science Fiction
Language: English

Summary:
Chip Delany's 2nd novel -- the first is The Jewels of Aptor (1962) -- published by Ace Books in 1963. Set in the 35th Century, the survivors of a nuclear war live on the coastline and an island in a kingdom ruled by a royal family in disrepair. A young victim -- the son of a wealthy merchant -- of their wrath becomes a working-class hero as he fights to get back his good name, aided by a disaffected member of the royal family. This was later rewritten as Out of The Dead City by Delany as part of the Towers Trilogy, an early masterpiece, imo. (Introduction by BellonaTimes)

Devil Car ♦ By Roger Zelazny ♦ Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror ♦ Full Audiobook
Title: Devil Car
Author: Roger Zelazny
Genre(s): Science Fiction, Horror
Language: English
A MINDWEBS Production
Summary:
A computer virus has changed some of the artificial intelligence cars to turn against humans. Coffee-drinking and smoking protagonist Murdock goes on a revenge crusade against a black caddy called Devil Car who murdered his brother. At his side his a hot blonde, this time in the form of an A.I. car called Jenny who develops some very emotional capabilities.
This action adventure is an easy SF read around the topic of Wild West romanticism (freedom, loyality) with car profanity/emotions/seducing. It is quite a contrast to King’s Christine, and I thought more of the more recent Megan Lindholm’s Old Paint where the cars were also infected by a computer virus.
As with many other Zelazny stories, the SF aspect is a bit artificial and it could have been set easily in a cowboy vs. American indians context. But it is a good story, and I like Zelazny’s language.
