After reading Trumps_of_Doom for the 2nd time I feel like asking
questions and putting forth my own ideas.
There appears to be a legion of agents aiding Merlin. Dan Martinez
may be one of them. Whose are they? I feel that they aren't Corwin's, but
are agents of Chaos. Random didn't have any idea and most of the Amberites
were in Amber and appeared to out of touch with the Shadows. Also George
Hanson, I think he is also from Chaos. Merlin felt that he was familiar in
some way. Probably someone he knew from Chaos.
The burning question, where in Shadow is Corwin? At several times
in the book it is mentioned that he's now crazy, also other things. I feel
that he's crazy due to Amber blood having been spilled on the pattern that
he created. I also think that Luke would be responsible for this act and
probably grapped Corwin and then found out about Avalon's pink powder through
Corwin.
Enough rambling for now.

I like to argue over a moot point

Presumably Merlin didn't do it. I'm not certain of my interpretation, however. -- SKZB
