A buffet of brilliance

while not all stories were to my taste, each is well worth the listening time. My favorite was certainly by Minalan's Master. Clearly a snapshot of the best of the vocal performers bringing to life the imagination of some truly.... unique...minds.

Amazing and varied collection of stories

It has been a pleasure to listen to this great variety of stories, many of which left wanting more. The narrators were excellent and gave life to well-written tales of assassins told from interesting angles.

Disappointed

I bought this book mainly to listen to the story of Royce by Michael J Sullivan and to see if any of the other authors is worth listening to. Royce story was too short and none of the other stories was really good enough to convince me to pursue other authors. I actually skipped a couple of the stories they were so not worth my time.
