This is the twelfth anthology of short stories set on Darkover, edited by Marion Zimmer Bradley, and first published in 1994. This anthology contains stories by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Mercedes Lackey,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I started reading the Darkover series when I was in college many moons ago. I have kept every single book from the series and re-read them all every few years. Bradley is the type of writer where the stories become so real that you can step right in and live along with the characters. If you want pure entertainment with a hint of social commentary as part and parcel of the story then read every last one and be educated

I liked the Darkover shorts in this book and particulary liked a very short one called A Matter of Perception by Lena Gore.. I have never seen this author before but I very much liked her style.. I would like to see more... I think she has a good grasp of the vagaries of Darkover... I like the way she sort of yanked you back and forth until the very end... Good style..I wish Ms. Bradley had prompted her for more.

The book was good, though, as with most anthologies, a bit uneven in talent. The stories seemed from different periods of Darkover's history, which could make it difficult to understand if you're not familiar with the world itself. Still it gave multifaceted views on some familiar characters and introduced well-rounded new ones. I can honestly say that there was no bad or boring story in the book, though this would not be a choice place to begin the series.
