	I recently heard a rumor that Zelazny has signed a contract to
write 3 more Amber books.  Anyone know anything about it?  Supposedly
it appeared in Locus recently.

I saw the LOCUS blurb, but it didn't say much.  Basically, it said that
he signed a contract to write three new Amber books, the first is
supposed to come out next October, and they are NOT a continuation of
the story from "Courts of Chaos", but instead are set far in the future
from CoC with a new story, and there may be some characters who were in
the first five books.

Personally, I'm very much looking forward to these next books.  I am
worried, however, that these books are not at the same level of quality
as was "Courts of Chaos".  I loved the Amber series, but I was extremely
disappointed with the last book.  The last book just seemed like a
travelogue of Corwin's journey cross Shadow, and about as interesting
as one.  Ah, well...
