This might be a surprise for those people who expect fantasy from Eddings, but these novels are contemporary fiction. They are also very good, probably better than most of his fantasy work. The characters are deeper, the story is compelling, and it is well written. I'm surprised at the negative rating here, both of these novels deserve much better.
If you picked these up expecting something similar to Eddings' other works, you were probably quite surprised.

These works are both quite good contemporary fiction, but they are very different than Eddings' more well known works and are most definitely NOT the fantasy that he is more known for.
These are early works for David Eddings. They have their place, but it is WAY behind his Belgariad and Elenium worlds. The Losers is the better piece out of the two in this compilation edition.
