Bradley originally created the character for the first Thieves World anthology; Lythande first appeared in the story "The Secret of the Blue Star" and appears in various stories throughout the series. I know part of "The complete Lythande" contents are from these anthologies, I don't know how much of it was published apart from TW. |

I enjoyed those as well. Fair warning; they are no guarantee of enjoying Thieves' World. Robert Aspirin was only the editor of TW, he would write a short story/prologue that thematically set up the book but didn't write the stories themselves.

I've not read Phule (yet). But I have read Myth Adventurs and really like it.

Thieve's World has a completely different feel then Phule or Myth Adventures.

Dragons of Autumn Twilight By Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Book 1 of Dragonlance Chronicles. $1.99 at Amazon, Kobo and B&N. I've never read this series, but two of my siblings were big fans of this. If you buy from Amazon, you can add the Audible book for $3.49.
Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/Dragons-Aut...9728924&sr=8-1 Kobo: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/dra...xv94R9DMH4z0JA This next author I've never read and am including only because of a positive blurb from the late Mike Resnick. Hard scifi. Primordial Threat - M A Rothman Book 1. $.99 Amazon, Kobo and B&N.

I really enjoyed this when it was new. Not as much on a reread. Quote:
