Welcome to book 3: Sign of the Unicorn -- my favorite book of the series. In this episode, we'll first dive into what makes this book unique from the other books, and then examine chapters 1 and 2 for literary and historical references, while piecing together the timeline leading up to the start of the Corwin chronicles.

In this concluding episode of Book 2, we will first cover some corrections and additions to this podcast series to date, including some literary references. And then we'll dive head first into the final chapter of The Guns of Avalon, the dramatic conclusion to Corwin's revenge story, as the plot of the Chronicles of Amber explodes onto a much bigger canvas.

In this episode, we cover chapters 7 and 8 of The Guns of Avalon -- the flight of Corwin and Ganelon from Avalon, the encounter with the Black Road, Benedict's chase, and finally Corwin's first return to his house in New York since his car accident. We'll dive into the timeline, the references to real people and places from Shadow Earth.

Next we are introduced to Dara, a mysterious new character, as Corwin furthers his plans to build an army of rifleman. We look into both historical and literary references across Chapters 5 and 6 of The Guns of Avalon.

The super memorable encounter with Benedict, the long-lost elder brother of Corwin. A pivotal scene in the books, as Corwin becomes a third point on the triangle between himself, Amber, and Chaos.

In this episode we span chapters 3 and 4 of The Guns of Avalon, including the defeat of the Dark Circle, the death of Lorraine, the shadow walk to Avalon, ending with the incredible revelation of the eldest brother: Benedict.

Let's talk about the horror movie that is the early part of The Guns of Avalon. We'll discuss the deeper references to Hamlet, and tackle other questions around the mysterious character of Lorraine. Later, Corwin kills another demon, and prepares to kill a lot more.
