    <body><![CDATA[Four short stories, written by four well-known authors who aren't used to writing short stories.  It sort of shows.<br/><br/>I bought this book for the Harry Dresden story, and that story was pretty decent, except for the bit where the end where an angel shows up to give him a pep talk.

    <body><![CDATA[No surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed Jim Butcher's short story &quot;The Warrior&quot;.  A fast-paced tale, centering on Michael Carpenter, his family, and his connections within the church many months after the events in 'Small Favor'.  One of the reasons why I enjoy Butcher's stories is that his ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71606389">more...</a>]]></body>
