Listening to this great little anthology I have read in my early 20's. I am glad at last these books are finally being audiobooked.

I found Luke Daniels vocal talents gave each character a voice of their own, male and female.

The new additional stories added a little extra to a great series of stories. Roll on getting the audiobooks for the other novels in the series.

(I can hope the next anthology series from my youth they audiobook would be the Thieves World Anthology. I can dream).

A Super Effort

Good adaptation of the original stories, well read and well paced - the narrator captures the "feel" of the stories very well.

Hope more of the series are to follow (already purchased the 2nd)

Loved these as a series

An amazing twist on a big genre! multiple writers across multiple stories works brilliantly! can't wait for the next ones.

Genius

Wasn't sure what to expect from the compilation of short stories, but it worked really well. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Very well written, although I didn't detect much difference in writing style between the authors, with the exception of Dr Hunter S Thompson's contribution. It didn't matter though, building up into a very complete picture of an alternative history from a multitude of standpoints, as it affected a large cast of characters.

Excellent narration would have been improved enormously by gaps between scenes and chapters, and if Audibles allowed the naming of chapters in its interface.

One minor irritation but otherwise excellent

A very good choice of stories. I listened to it in my car driving to work, and enjoyed it very much.

A very good choice of stories!
