Shadows of Sanctuary

One of the original shared-world anthologies, THIEVES' WORLD (R) was dreamed up by sci-fi/fantasy authors Lynn Abbey, Poul Anderson, Robert Asprin, John Brunner, Joe Haldeman and Andrew J. Offutt. Together they created the city called Sanctuary, and each came up with a character to inhabit it: One Thumb, the crooked bartender at the Vulgar Unicorn; Jubal, ex-gladiator and slave; Lythande the Star-browed (his magic is in question, his swordplay is not); and more. Additional volumes brought more authors and their unforgettable characters to Sanctuary, where murder mayhem, and skullduggery--with always a bit of magic--are the order of the day.
