Another great collection of short stories in the Thieves World shared world. Farmer, Abbey, Drake, Van Vogt, its hard to beat that collection of authors. The story continues to develop in these stories in a cohesive and interesting way. ( )

So successful a project was the original idea from Thieves World that they did more, and a game.

Tales from the Vulgar Unicorn : Spiders of the Purple Mage - Philip José Farmer
Tales from the Vulgar Unicorn : Goddess - David Drake
Tales from the Vulgar Unicorn : The Fruit of Enlibar - Lynn Abbey
Tales from the Vulgar Unicorn : The Dream of the Sorceress - A. E. van Vogt
Tales from the Vulgar Unicorn : Vashanka’s Minion - Janet Morris
Tales from the Vulgar Unicorn : Shadow’s Pawn - Andrew J. Offutt
Tales from the Vulgar Unicorn : To Guard the Guardians - Robert Lynn Asprin

Rats, arachnids, killer monkeys and even bigger octopedal nasties are a lot to put up with.

Flaming demon midwifery.

Steel secret.

Some good advice in the middle of a divine disagreement: "Clearly, a human confronted by a god should not rely on force alone."

3.5 out of 5

Storm God sending is painful.

3.5 out of 5

Stone cold thievery.

2.5 out of 5

A spot of killer killing and slaver slaying can be good for a town.

Short stories from different authors, all set in the same fantasy world with the same general cast of characters. It's the 2nd in the series, & I don't have the first. I suspect I'd have liked it better if I'd read the first. ( )
