[nesfa-reading-group] Jack of Shadows

[Wes Brodsky]

I did not realize that Jack in "...Lonesome October" and "Jack of Shadows"  were the same Jack. In what fraction of Zelazny's novels does Jack appear?

I liked Zelazny 's other book we read about Jack (Night in the Lonesome October.) That was brilliant, so Jack of Shadows was a bit of a letdown for me overall.
