The Guns of Avalon is the second book in the Chronicles of Amber series by Roger Zelazny. The book continues straight from the previous volume, Nine Princes in Amber, although it soon includes a recap. In all probability, the title is a tongue-in cheek reference to the similarly titled novel The Guns of Navarone. In addition to sounding alike, both Avalon and Navarone are fictitious islands.

Famous quotes containing the word guns:
“Again the guns disturbed the hour,
Roaring their readiness to avenge,
As far inland a Stourton Tower,
And Camelot, and starlit Stonehenge.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
