| yesterday | comment | added | Amit | @straycat oh my, I shouldn't have missed that! Thanks a lot, that's helpful. I think you can actually turn that into a fully legitimate answer. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | straycat | Note also that some pages earlier the name of the doctor is given as Morris Bailey. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | straycat | In my German translation (2005, area verlag), Bill Roth doesn't give a name, but just calls him "Der Arzt ..." ("The doctor ..."). This may be a deliberate choice of the translator, or already present in a corrected original, I can't say. But it hints to the name being an error. (And no, it's definitely not "The Doctor ..." :) ...) | |
| yesterday | comment | added | Amit | @YaroslavKornachevskyi Correct! My bad, the two books were fused as one in my memory :) Nonetheless, if I am not wrong, Bill doesn't actually get the full story even in Hand of Oberon, but is only exposed to more inexplicable mysteries that beg for an explanation... :) | |
| yesterday | comment | added | Yaroslav Kornachevskyi | Bill also met Corwin in the next book (Hand of Oberon) | |
