Some character stories...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This volume is a tad more interesting than the last because some of the stories now focus on the friendship between Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser. Thess stories are more character driven and, the result is, they hooked me. One story shows the two split, each on a different side of the conflict. They even visit our planet in one story!
The Mouser and Fafhrd in Our World
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is an incredible book. Probably my favorite of the Mouser and Fafhrd series. The first few stories are very well-written, especially "Their Mistress, the Sea". But the Novella Adept's Gambit is simply awesome. The knowledge of the post-Alexandrian world history displayed here, the characterizations, the sheer pace and sense of the work, are all just too good to be believed.
More than it appears to be

I just received this edition and was pleasantly surprised to find that it includes Book 4 "Swords against Wizardry." As for content, the Fafhrd/Gray Mouser series is fantasy at its best.

Great, just like all other Leiber's books of Lankhmar. I recommend it for fans of heroic fiction novels.
Great Fafhrd & The Gray Mouser Stories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Leiber's sword books stand alone in heroic fantasy for their gallows humor, perverse plots, and decadent settings. He treats his heroes with a respect, compassion, and maturity not common in fantasy or horror writing.This books of stories includes material written in the 1940's to 1960's. In addition to the famous "Lean Times in Lankhmar" - the story of Issek of the Jug's rise on the Street of the Gods - and "Adept's Gambit" - where the heroes come to the Macedonian empire on our Earth, the book includes "The Cloud of Hate", "When the Sea-King's Away", and a pair of short-shorts written as segueways between the previously published stories.
