There are backlist novels by Michael A. Stackpole and Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Allen Drury (one of his historical novels, and not an actual fantasy, according to ISFDB), and newly-written stuff by Brandon Sanderson, Tracy Hickman, and an anthology of short stories including contributions by well-known authors.

This Story Bundle is mostly from WordFire Press, as was a Humble Bundle "Sci-Fi Specials" available in early April 2016., which offered 18 books for the same price (or 11 books for $10), instead of 11 books for $15.
For those who already acquired the former Humble Bundle, and did not read it all yet, they should be aware that the two bundle have three books in common:
- The Feather and the Moon Well (The Brilliance of Sun 1) by Shean Pao
- Echoes of a Shattered Age (Legend of Takashaniel 1) by Ramon Terrell
- A Tale of Red Riding (Rise Of The Alpha Huntress 1) by Neo Edmund
One could have hoped that the curator (and WordFire Press) would avoid such duplication. However, one of the books (
Spawn of Loki by Jason Henderson) is the second in a series (Macduff Saga), and the first book (
The Iron Thane) was included in the former bundle.
The usual retail value of each book is about $6 (except $3 for the Sanderson book)., provided the prices I see are the same as those you see on the same pages, since I am in non-anglophone Europe.
The bundle includes some historical fiction. This seems to be a season thing, since
Phoenix Pick is also offering a
bundle (for $9 at least) that includes 5 historical fictions by L. Sprague de Camp, together with the novel "Lest Darkness Falls" available for free.
