The Black Unicorn
This
is my favorite piece of Amber- related reading material which plays after the last book Roger
Zelazny wrote. I don't know if it's the style, storyline or sheer size of it
that makes it all that interesting, but it does make for excellent
reading.
It's written by Jan Pieter de Graaf, and based on a running campain by Astrid Tops. Just click on her name to go to her web-site.
If you're not familiar with the Amber-books, the Cosmology-chapter might give you some insights in how the storyline develops until the first chapter. The best way of reading this story, is right after the last book Roger Zelazny wrote. If you are absolutely unfamiliar with Amber. then don't worry if the first few chapters seem kind of confusing. All will be revealed in good time. On the other hand... if after the first 10 chapters you still can't make heads or tail of anything, you are probably one of the ones that will never understand.
As for other points of view on the story, one can read the diaries of both Boadice and Murlas at these pages.
If you find any errors in page-build up, or any spelling-errors, please report them to me. I've done my best to get any of these out, but there's always the chance there are still errors in the files.
Have fun reading, Jurriaan van Doornik
(who is quite sure he should start re-reading the whole thing again from the beginning real soon)

Note Nov 3rd 2005 : This page is appearantly tracked by a lot of people (guess the story is popular, yay Jan Pieter!). Last update to this page was in august 2003. We're 2 years along now... and to my knowledge no new chapters have been released... yet. Which explains the lack of updates on this page. Rest assured, I'm still alive, and able to update this page (which I haven't accessed in ages actually, so I was a bit stunned I still recall how to access and update everything). It's just that there isn't anything new I can post on here... Sorry everyone... Blame the author ;-)
Note March 16th 2007 : Still haven't seen any updates take place... Sorry y'all... It seems the wait will still be extended...
Note January 4th 2014 : 7 years since the last update, Over 11 years since the last update, and Astrids page seems to have moved server and is linking the wrong server for it's pages. See here for the Amber Index and here for the Dorian Diaries she has up. Haven't heard from anyone in all this time, so I'm somewhat convinced the campaign died. I mean, it's been 11 _years_!! :-(
For some background information, among which are the trumps drawn for the campaign, aswell as a family-tree and a what-is-what, please visit Jopie "Boadice" Schekkerman's site.
