Like many Xenites, I bought this book to read the work of fanfiction bard and series screenplay writer Missy Good, and I wasn't disappointed: Missy's stellar final story in the anthology made it worth the money.
However, I was thrilled to discover that the person picking the anthology entries and the writers submitting the stories were just as spot-on, dead center in their portrayal of Xena and Gabrielle as the best screenwriters and fanfiction bards out there. With the possible exception of the lengthy story involving Joxer (can't recall the name right now), every story gave wonderful new yet insightful glimpses of the characters we know and love. Further, for readers of all types of sword and sorcery fantasy, this book offers believable plotting and emotionally engaging characters.
This is a book that every Xena fan should own and one to pass on to non-Xenites. Spread the word-- this one's not just for Xenites.

Whether you liked (cough, cough) the final episode or not; you will love to regain your enjoyment for Xena and Gabrielle in this
collection of short stories. Pretty good. Also: "Damsel in the Rough" by Ann M. Tempesta and "Tropical Storm" by Melissa Good--authors who know how to produce a gutsy warrior babe!

If you're not quite ready to let the series die, you need to buy this book!

this is a very good book, i couldn't put it down. there are lots of short stories in this book, so it doesn't get boring. if you are new to the xena paperbacks, this is the book to get you started.

17 stories by some of the most well known (and not so well known) authors, all set in the Xena universe. Adventures, Gods, magic and wrestling. Most of the stories are good, but you can tell that many of the authors didn't work together. One story says the City of Thebes was long gone, while another said it still existed. And in one story, about the battle of Salamis, Xena CARES about what the Greek Gods think about her. When did Xena care about what ANY God thought about?
So while this might be the first collection, it will also be the last.

I really enjoyed the stories in this book and I am glad there are authors out there that are willing to continue the adventures of Xena and Gabrielle. The seller of this product was fast about the shipping and the book was in excellent condition when I received it.

I really enjoyed this collection of Xena stories and as a Herc fan,I really appreciated the references to him throughout many of them,although I would have preferred an appearance or two by the handsome demigod. In any case,if you're a Xena fan,you will love this book!

I wasn't ready to let the series go yet. Thankfully Gabby and Xena lived on in this collection of short stories. Any and all XWP fans will love this book!!!
