Collection of longer stories/novellas than in Volume 1.Each one focuses more on a few individuals within the Slammers rather than trying to cover a whole army. This means the characters really come through in each story.There's a lot of combat, Drake describes the action well. There's some explanati...
The Secret History of Fantasy is a 19-story collection of what I'm given to understand is unusual or different fantasy, along with a couple nonfiction essays about the genre as a whole (and of course, the forward by Peter Beagle). Taken as a whole, it was a varied and sometimes fascinating read, tho...

Sin embarg...

Enjoyed "Ancestor Money" by Maureen McHugh. A...
1.5 stars perhaps. Forgettable stories. Kept finding excuses not to finish the book. I finally realized I was not looking up any of the authors' other works to read. Time to move on. So many other good books to read.
I read this over the summer of 1998. It is a very comprehensive science fiction anthology. I think it makes a very good work if you want to get a historical overview of where the genre comes from and where it is going. The stories do vary in quality, so odds are good you may find some you like more ...
