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., December 25, 1998

By	Don Bigbee ([e-mail]) (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews

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.

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