    well for the caller of the jinn.

    Are there any good SF/F stories involving jinns ?


    Jinn feature in Poul Anderson's OPERATION CHAOS.

    It is a spoiler as to whether or not a djinn is acting in Saladin Ahmed's THRONE OF THE CRESCENT MOON, but the possibility is discussed fairly early.

    Rachel Caine's Weather Warden series has djinn playing a significant role.

    The Rakasha play pretty much the role of Jinn in Zelazny's "Lord of
    Light".

    And of course there is Jinnicky, the Red Jinn from Ev, in several of the
    later Ruth Plumly Thompson "OZ" books.
