The mercenary Stepsons leave Sanctuary behind in this tenth volume of the shared-world fantasy anthology series. As Tempus and his mercenary army, the Stepsons, depart from war-torn Sanctuary, there are some who view it as a return to normal. Yet what is normal in this city of thieves and adventurers? Laborers arrive to help in the rebuilding efforts, but some of these able-bodied men are disappearing. An assassin seeks revenge for his brother, and others aim to instill peace in the community while vicious rivalries emerge from Sanctuary's rubble. And a struggle for power seems to be brewing . . . If this is your kind of "normal," then enter an action-packed world of sword and sorcery in this shared-world anthology featuring stories by some of fantasy's best authors: Robert Lynn Asprin, Mark C. Perry, Janet Morris, David Drake, John Brunner, Lynn Abbey, and Andrew Offutt.… (más)

A scattering of short stories- a couple good most just passable- not really gripping, surprising or challenging
That being said I’m not current on the series ( )
  TonyBethan | Aug 30, 2023 |
The tenth Thieves’ World anthology is a mixed bag, but overall provides some satisfying continuity with previous volumes.
The first story, Cade, is the weakest I recall reading not just in the Thieves’ World series, but also generally, with some very wooden descriptions at the beginning of the story, although it gathers fluidity and has a satisfyingly black ending. This is a one-off story, set in Sanctuary but otherwise independent of the series.
Unlike the second story, Wake of the Riddler by Janet Morris, which features many characters from previous anthologies - Zip, Critias and Kama being the main players, but Straton and Ischade also make appearances together with mention of others. This is a satisfying development in the stories with Tempus away from Sanctuary and introduces a new “character”, Shepherd.
The third story, Inheritor by David Drake, again appears to be a one-off story set in Sanctuary, starting in The Vulgar Unicorn, but otherwise unconnected to other happenings. Looking at Wikipedia I see that the story is part of a novel, Dagger, published in 1988 and it does read as an introduction to larger, but unfinished, and so unsatisfying as there are no further stories by Drake in The Thieves’ World anthologies.
John Brunner then returns (first story since the original Thieves’ World anthology) with a story updating us on the lives of Jarveena, Melilot and Enas Yorl. Although otherwise freestanding, this story offers welcome continuity with an earlier time in Sanctuary.
Lynn Abbey gives us a lovely Illyra and Dubro story, the S’danzo seeress still struggling with the loss of her young children in earlier stories and her half-brother Walegrin’s imposition of an orphan baby upon her to try to raise her spirits.
Finally, Andrew Offutt gives us the (long awaited) return of Shadowspawn/Hanse, who assists the Spellmaster, Strick tiFiraqa (previously encountered by Hanse on the way to Firaqa in the novel, Shadowspawn). And we are left with what could be a cliffhanger, except that this is confidently undermined by the author. Let us hope that we hear of Hanse again in Offutt’s story in the final anthology. ( )
