Reply to comment by thisisapornaccountg in Stephen Colbert to Produce Series Adaptation Of Roger Zelanzny’s Sci-Fi Novels ‘The Chronicles Of Amber’ by Neo2199
Martin’s included little references to Zelazny in his newer world books, such as House Rogers of Amberly (a minor stormlands family), Qarl Correy, and the mazemakers of Lorath.
