Tales Of Ethshar [Paperback]

Ethshar? Many readers already recognize the name, but if you arent one of them, perhaps a brief explanation is in order. Ethshar is the invented world that has been the setting for almost a dozen novels from the pen of Lawrence Watt-Evans. Its inhabitants dont call it that; they call it the World. For readers, though, thats not specific enough. The dominant nation on the World is the Hegemony of the Three Ethshars, while the largest, richest city, where most of the stories are set, is Ethshar of the Spices, so Ethshar is close enough. You dont need to have read any of the novels to enjoy the stories herein; each stands alone. And if youve read the novels, you will doubly thrill to these new voyages to the world of Ethshar, with 11 stories . . . collected for the first time in a single volume!
