A collection of short stories. I liked less than half of these stories. My liking of Stackpole has grown less over the years. I think he is a better science fiction writer than a fantasy writer, but he insists on writing fantasy. I think his sci-fi work is good, while his fantasy work is below average. Overall a disappointing read. I am glad to have gotten it used.

A nice collection of short stories by Stackpole, including an excellent one from the Dragoncrown War cycle. Definitely recommended to any Stackpole fans.
