Thieves' World is what resulted when the world's top science-fiction and fantasy writers got together to create the amazing new world of Sanctuary, where you mix and mingle with Lythal the Star-browed: his magic is questionable, his sword-play is not. Jubal: ex-gladiator and slave, now a respected citizen (he made his money selling slaves). One Thumb: the crooked bartender at the Vulgar Unicorn ...and even more fantastic characters! Lynn Abbey, Poul Anderson, Robert Asprin, John Brunner, Joe Haldeman and Andrew J Offutt have dreamed up a world of wonders - a fabulous reading adventure!

The dirty, filthy, little hell hole of the Empire. This book of short stories is raw and gritty. Everyone is out for themselves and no characters are safe from a knife in the back.

It's interesting to go through it with more of a writer's eye after attempting NaNoWriMo once. As an anthology, you get to see several different writing styles in one book.
