Lots of sword and sorcery from the masters. Lots of fun!
From back cover: Lynne Abbey, Poul Anderson, Robert Asprin, John Brunner, Joe Haldeman and Andrew J. Offutt have created Sanctuary, and people it with wonders: One-Thumb (the crooked bartender at the Vulgar Unicorn); Enas Yorl, magician and involuntary shape changer (he lost a duel with another magician); Jubal, ex-gladiator and slave who is now a pillar of the community (he made his money selling slaves); Lythande the Star-browed (his magic is in question, his sword-play is not); Cappen Varra the Minstral (the only honest man in Sanctuary). These are just some of the unforgettable players you will meet on a stage where murder, mayhem, and skullduggery--with always a bit of magic--are the order of the day.
