From: Stephen R. Balzac <LS.SRB@EE> 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.
