Nearly perfect Thieves' World volume-- 4 and 1/2 stars.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Sometimes I think that the Thieves' World editions that work the best are the books with the least number of contributors. Whatever the formula, Aftermath functions beautifully as a book and has a lot of the good stuff that makes the series so addictive. There are a handful of really interesting new characters put into play (Star, Samlor, Cade). Additionally, a number of the more established dramatis personae makes some significant steps forward (Illyra, Kama and Hans). Writers in this volume include: Asprin & Abbey, David Drake, Mark C. Perry, Janet Morris, John Brunner and Andrew Offutt. After the minor disappointment of Book 8 and the more hopeful turn in Book 9, Thieves' World readers should really enjoy Aftermath. As usual, begin this series at the beginning. It will be too much work to catch up with the backstory if you try to jump in so late in the series.
