Customer Reviews

it was interesting from the beginning, hard to set it down.

definately recommended to those who enjoy short stories, a couple keep ya hangin' a little at the end, but that just keeps it more interesting.

A good collection

These short stories by the well-known Piers Anthony are an interesting and diverse collection which I really enjoyed, although they do not compare with his Xanth or Incarnations of Immortality Series. I especially enjoyed "Alien Plot"(the short story) and "Soft Like a Woman," which is a SF story about a woman who is anything but soft, contradicting those who label Anthony a sexist. This is a good read, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Anthony or short stories in general.
