About this audiobook

Missing Game of Thrones? Dare to "be pulled into political intrigues, watch new gods replace old, and witness fortunes rise and fall and rise again" (Book Riot). A classic series for a new generation of fantasy adventure fans, Thieves' World® paved the way for the shared-world anthology tradition with epic worldbuilding, unforgettable characters, and nonstop action thanks to the legendary authors who contribute to it. The series' groundbreaking debut features stories by John Brunner, Lynn Abbey, Poul Anderson, Andrew J. Offutt, Robert Lynn Asprin, Joe Haldeman, Christine DeWees, and Marion Zimmer Bradley, who populate the lawless city of Sanctuary with orphans and wizards, fortune tellers and emperors, merchants and madams, spies, assassins, and, of course, thieves.

About the author

Jonathan Johns is something of a rarity, being a Cornish audiobook narrator. His unique voice, found within his Cornish heritage, goes a long way in bringing stories to life. Fully adept in character dialogue, voices, and narration, Jonathan has the ability to draw in the listener.

Robert Lynn Asprin is the founder of the Great Dark Horde within the SCA and the Dorsai Irregulars within the science-fiction fandom. Then he got the idea for Thieves' World® and changed the way authors, publishers, and readers thought about anthologies.

Lynn Abbey has been called the "Godmother of Shared Universes" for her part in creating, editing, and writing the Thieves' World® series of anthologies, novels, and games. She is the author of more than two dozen novels, most of them fantasies.
