Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
From a young Darkovan's discovery of his laran-based affinity with Terran technology (Aletha Biedermann-Wiens's "Kefan McIlroy Is Snared") to a Terran psychiatrist's encounter with an unusual case of Darkovan multiple personalities (Diana L. Paxson's "The Frontier"), this collection of 20 stories set in the world of the Bloody Sun explores the many facets of the mind-based powers ("laran") that make the world of Darkover unique. Fans of the popular series will enjoy this tenth anthology of short fiction by veteran authors and newcomers. Purchase where necessary.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Typical Darkover anthology. Some good & some very good.,
By Don Bigbee (DBigbee@pac.com) (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Towers of darkover (Paperback)
Have read & re-read all of the Darkover books several times. Just finished this book for at least the fourth time. There are only 4 or 5 stories which are up to Ms. Bradleys level, but since she picked them, all are good. Several extend some of Ms. Bradley's books ie. A Lesser Life tells of a time after and puts a happier end to STORMQUEEN.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Fan Fiction,

This review is from: Towers of darkover (Paperback)
I know that sounds like an oxymoron. MZB was a rarity in the world of authors: she actually encouraged fan fiction, and loved to read the "slush pile".
This anthology contains some good (and some merely passable) stories about unusual uses of laran powers on the planet of Darkover. However, I found the most interesting parts were the introductions to the stories written by MZB, and the insight into her character revealed there. I was especially tickled by the introduction to the entire anthology, in which MZB recounts how a nameless author called her a sellout and she retorted that at least her kid wasn't forced to steal food. Priceless.

There were no clunkers in this batch, and several top-flight stories. Highly recommended.
