An Excellent Collection

This is an excellent collection of short works by Glen Cook. Several of them were from his science fiction universe—one I have very little familiarity with. But they were all fun stories which I enjoyed reading. The best were from his fantasy worlds, showing off Cook’s famous, slightly dark, world view. There are pieces from the Dread Empire, the Black Company, and The Garrett Files, which make the book worth reading all on their own. But there are also a lot of tales that don’t fit into the big series but were great all the same.

One of the best things about a collection like this are the short author notes at the beginning of each story. It’s always nice to get a glimpse into the author’s thinking.

I will definitely read this collection again someday.

A couple of great short stories in here

Any time you get stories about The Black Company and Garrett P.I. you know you have a winner. Overall, I did enjoy all of the stories included in this book.

superb collection of stories

I am a big fan of Glen Cook stories and this collection did not disappoint. The narrator brought the stories to life and I was particularly taken with the first and only Garrett files story I have heard in audio format. Please bring them all to audiobook, they would be even more amazing with a narrator like this one!
