Sorry, I only got 'Prince of Chaos' recently, from a specialist
second-hand SF bookseller.

I didn't know that the audio books even existed; probably not
really my sort of stuff, anyway, though it would be interesting
to hear them at least once.

I've played around with Zelazny logic for Shadows and multiple

Messy! [grin]
