Description:
Thieves' World (Thieves' World Book 1) ** ### About the Author Robert (Lynn) Asprin was born in 1946. While he has written some stand alone novels such as *Cold Cash War*, *Tambu*, *The Bug Wars* and also the *Duncan and Mallory Illustrated* stories, Bob is best known for his series: *The Myth Adventures of Aahz and Skeeve*; the *Phule* novels; and, more recently, the *Time Scout* novels written with Linda Evans. He also edited the groundbreaking *Thieves World* anthologies with Lynn Abbey. His most recent collaboration is *License Invoked* written with Jody Lynn Nye. It is set in the French Quarter, New Orleans where he currently lives.They all play the part of hero, they are all-powerful on a stage that is ruled by the one that you talk to - or the one you believe... Thieves' World is what resulted when the world's top science-fiction and fantasy writers got together to create the amazing new world of Sanctuary, where you mix and mingle with Lythal the Star-browed: his magic is questionable, his sword-play is not. Jubal: ex-gladiator and slave, now a respected citizen (he made his money selling slaves). One Thumb: the crooked bartender at the Vulgar Unicorn ...and even more fantastic characters! Lynn Abbey, Poul Anderson, Robert Asprin, John Brunner, Joe Haldeman and Andrew J Offutt have dreamed up a world of wonders - a fabulous reading adventure!
