Chronicles of Chaos: Difference between revisions

* [[Shout-Out]]: Many. There is banter mangling together the [[Lord of the Rings]] and [[Richard Wagner|Wagner's Ring Cycle.]] When Amelia and Victor are talking on {{spoiler|the ''Queen Elizabeth 2''}}, about what a young man wants, she rattles off something very similar to the "Roc's Egg" monologue from [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Glory Road (novel)|Glory Road]]''.

** Also notable is one point in the second book when the Orphans need to get past a locked, magically trapped door and Quentin uses one of the incantations Gandalf used on the Moria-Gate. Nothing happens.

** Also per [[Word of God]], the series is a [[Perspective Flip]] of [[Chronicles of Amber]], with the Olympians mapping out to the various Amberite factions.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: Concerning the gangs trip to Mars: "astronomers can figure out what year the scene takes place, because I established the orbital positions needed for a Hohmann transfer orbit".

* [[So Proud of You]]

* [[Spank the Cutie]]: Amelia runs into this.

* [[Speak of the Devil]]

* [[Spock Speak]]: Victor and Dr Fell, being {{spoiler|robotic.}} This makes their pre-battle banter somewhat...odd.
