Synopsis

Belly up to Thieves' World®'s favorite bar for tales told by such fantasy stars as Philip José Farmer, David Drake, Janet Morris, and others.

In the second shared-world anthology of the Thieves' World® series, we see "the gods themselves taking a hand in the fight for the hearts, minds and souls of the citizens of Sanctuary" (Fantasy-Faction).

Via contributions from Philip José Farmer, David Drake, Lynn Abbey, A. E. van Vogt, Janet Morris, Andrew J. Offutt, and Robert Lynn Asprin, you'll revisit the nefarious characters of Sanctuary, including One-Thumb, the proprietor of the Vulgar Unicorn; Regli, a nobleman; Illyra, the seer; Hanes, the thief; the crime lord, Jubal; and introducing Tempus Thales, the immortal mercenary.
