A must for Dorsai fans

If you haven't been introduced to this book, find it. It is a combination of Lost Dorsai and the Spirit of Dorsai with a lot of extra material on the Dorsai and the Childe Cycle as well. I think they are re-releasing Lost Dorsai with the extra information, but I'm not sure, as it's being billed as a new release- or, at least an unpdated version. Having come out in 1986, before Young Bleys or the other latter novels, that is most likely the case. Perhaps it would be wiser to purchase Lost Dorsai with the new info and get Spirit seperately. At any rate, the short stories are still first rate, and they are all about the Dorsai. What more can you ask for?
