Review: Nice Collection of Short Stories

"Fundamental Problems - A handful of fables" is a fun collection of short stories. Michael J. Tobias presents some unique plots and memorable characters. There are some rather interesting takes on spirituality and the concept of God (god) throughout with interesting twists and turns as the protagonist(s) head toward solution.The genres range from science fiction sometime in the future to contemporary to fantasy; each told with a story arc and narrative that draws the reader along, interested in the next outcome.The last story, "The Minstrel's Tale - A Shadewalker Story" seems to be a harbinger of Tobias' upcoming fantasy trilogy, "Shadewalker." Assuming this is the case, the tale contained within this volume speaks loudly toward the necessity of grabbing and devouring the promised trilogy.I recommend reading through this work.
