In answer to Dan L. regarding a review of _Trumps of Doom_ by Roger Zelazny:
first off, he might enjoy knowing that the book was recently the main selection
of the SF Book Club, and now an alternate. If he isn't a member, find a friend 
who is. The book doesn't concern the main characters from the six novel Amber
series directly, but concerns Corwin's son, Merlin, who grew up in the Courts
of Chaos. The major portion of the book deals with Merlin's adventures on 
Earth as a Computer Programmer (and then some), and the latter half with his
return to Amber. It is a fast reading, enjoyable book, but I don't recommend it
to either those who object to books that are obviously waiting for a sequel
or for those who haven't read most or all of the first six books. It does very 
little refreshing of the already developed milieu.
