Terrific authors--wonderful stories,
This review is from: The Journey Home (Hardcover)
You'll go a long way before you'll find a better group of writers, and they've produced stories for this collection that are as powerful as any book any of them has written. The theme of each is the "wounded hero," a man coping with the aftermath of a war--a timely subject if there ever was one--and each story has a central romance. Otherwise, all bets are off. You'll go from fantasy worlds to distant planets in the future to WWI America. You'll meet witches and ghosts, and be thrown into alternate realities. It's a smorgasbord, with something to satisfy every palate.

Wonderful Short Story Collection,
By Minerva (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Journey Home: Extraordinary tales of honor, courage and love (Paperback)
War changes a man's life. It can make him stronger or destroy him. And it's the same for the woman who watches him march off to unspeakable horror-wondering if he will ever come back to her. And what he will be like when he returns.
In this anthology, award-winning, best-selling authors Mary Jo Putney, Patricia Rice, Rebecca York, Diane Chamberlain, Catherine Asaro, and five others team up to present a wonderful collection of stories about wounded heroes and the women who love them. War is a universal reality of human existence, and these stories span the ages-from the past to the distant future. I loved every one of them. The characters are so real. The stories are heartwarming. And the magical elements add a special and surprising touch

The Journey Home,
By AK "Bro" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Journey Home: Extraordinary tales of honor, courage and love (Paperback)
*** Gathering the work of several authors in a common theme, this anthology deals with soldiers trying to make it home after war, whether in the distant past or the far future. Some of the stories are fairly standard ghost tales, much like campfire standards or fairy tales, others, more imaginative. Among the later entries is a story set in an established "universe" of one of the authors' making, and readers may feel lost if they have not read books in that series. However, for the most part, the stories need no "historical" knowledge to enjoy. ***
