Editorial Reviews

Review

"... a story that's hard to put down ... wickedly ingenious ... with the tightly controlled energy and lean contours of an expertly tuned Mustang Mach 1 like Tannim's". -- Dragon


Product Description

Hot rods and high magic - previously published in two volumes as "Born to Run" and "Chrome Circle" - meet in a fast-paced, tongue-in-cheek fantasy.

1.0 out of 5 stars What was wrong with the old title?, December 8, 1999
By Hanne Mark (Nuuk, Greenland) - See all my reviews
The single star is a minimum requirement, I would rate this book as 0 stars - there is a certain lack of originality. I really loved this story - the first time around, but felt cheated when it arrived, not as I believed a sequel to the crome ring, just a reisue. Please don't do that to us. I like reading the books by ML, but I do not want to need to do research before I order new books, the least you could do was to tell the world that the book is not new.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buyer beware: Two older books masquerading as a new title!, October 1, 1999
By A Customer
The one star is a boo-hiss for Baen books, which is re-releasing older books under new titles, apparently in an attempt to get customers to buy books they've bought before.

This book is actually the books "Born to Run" and "Chrome Circle," which are about a human protagonist, various supernatural creatures, and troubled teens. These books were originally part of the SERRAted Edge series of urban (modern) fantasy.

The books are okay; not Lackey's best, but anything she writes is going to be worth reading. But not worth paying for *twice*! Shame on Baen books for trying to hoodwink their readers. There was no indication this was a re-issue when I pre-ordered; and even the book itself gave the older titles in small print.

1.0 out of 5 stars I've read them before!, October 20, 1999
By "aviendha" (Falls Church, VA USA) - See all my reviews
I am very annoyed. I purchased this book believing that it was a new one in the series and after a few pages realized that it was anything but! It would've been nice if I'd been told Before I made the purchase!

1.0 out of 5 stars Been there, read that, litterally
The problem with this book is that it is litterally a re-run. It is a merger of two very very good ML books but the cover really fails to warn the buyer of this. Read more

Baen's done this before with Weber and the Honorverse in short story collections.
