Reviews

[Craig · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is an anthology of original stories with the rather broad theme of fantastic individuals of war. As usual, it was something of an up-and-down collection, but each reader will always have differing opinions of which were hits and which were misses. It does have an interesting mix of contemporary vs. ancient/mythological settings. I remember particularly liking the stories by Tim Waggoner, Alan Dean Foster, Gary A. Braunbeck, and Charles de Lint.
