Possibly, it's ROADMARKS for those who want a lesser-known work in Zelazny's main sequence and DOORWAYS IN THE SAND for those who want that same cleverness in unexpected directions. <br /><br />ROADMARKS, for those who (and I feel compassion for them) don't already know Zelazny's, is probably his most Gaimanesque fantasy.
