Enemies of Fortune

The grim city of Sanctuary and its often grimmer inhabitants provide plenty of fantasy fun in Thieves' World: Enemies of Fortune, an all-original shared-world anthology, edited by Lynn Abbey (Thieves' World: Turning Points). Standouts include Robin Wayne Bailey's ""Protection,"" in which Lord Spider's mistress gives the term ""catwoman"" a whole new shade of meaning, and Andrew Offut's ""Dark of the Moon,"" in which Lone is deceived in gruesome fashion by a lovely girl who isn't what she seems. Agent, Jonathan Matson at Harold Matson Co. .
