Randall, Neil

(? - ) Canadian academic at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, and author who has written extensively about real-world computers and the Internet [titles not listed below]. Of genre interest are his Gamebooks: Storm of Dust (1987), a Tie to David Drake's Dragon Lord fantasy sequence, and two ties to Roger Zelazny's Amber, being The Black Road War (1988) and Seven No-Trump (1988) [see Checklist for full formal titles]. Also tied to Amber is the nonfiction Roger Zelazny's Visual Guide to Castle Amber (1988) with Roger Zelazny, a Travel Guide of sorts. Lord of Cragslaw (1989) with Bill Fawcett is a fantasy novel tied to the Guardians of the Three sequence about a civilization of Cats.

This author should not be confused with the UK historical-fantasy writer Neil Randall (1975- ). [DRL]
