Corey aka Corwin wakes up in a private hospital where he's been drugged apparently with the intention of keeping him insensible indefinitely. He has no memory of himself or how he got there. Now a normal person might run to the police but the inherently cagey Corwin starts a race to figure out who he is and what he's involved in. The answers to these questions open up whole new realms of existence.
Nine Princes in Amber is the first of a 10 or 11 book series and one of the hidden gems of the science fiction / fantasy genre. I read these when I was in high school and loved them. So far they're living up to my memories of them. The characters are fantastically drawn and the political intrigue is fascinating.
Everyone should give this series a shot.
