Thieves' World: Turning Points (Thieves' World Anthology)
From Mickey Zucker Reichert's opening tale of a jaded child  whose desire for solitude is quashed by a group of determined  women ("Home Is Where the Hate Is") to Jeff Grubb's story of a  fugitive sorcerer with a head filled with words of power  ("Apocalypse Noun"), the 11 selections in this shared-world  anthology introduce a new generation of readers to the lawless  and enticing city of Sanctuary. Shapechangers, wizards,  cutpurses, and assassins share the spotlight in stories by Lynn  Abbey, Raymond Feist, Andrew Offut, and others. Fans of the  original "Thieves' World" series should enjoy this volume, a  sequel to Abbey's novel Sanctuary and a harbinger of other  volumes to come. A good choice for most fantasy collections.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
