I saw a reference to this book when I was reading about Baker's recent death, and I didn't think I'd read it. Turns out, once I started on the stories, that I had, but it had been a long time, and I liked it enough to read it again.
Enjoyable collection of stories from Baker's "Company" setting, with a variety of settings (altho lots of California), characters, and time periods. If I remember correctly, this is the volume that introduced me to Alec.
As always, love her narrative style(s), although it's a little jouncy going from one tale to the next. Makes me want to go back and read all the Company novels over again!

Oh I just loved this collection of Company short stories from Kage Baker. I really think I love some of her peripheral characters the best. Mendoza just spends so much time being mad at everything, which gets boring. Lots of fun little links to the main novels too, and I think most or all of them could stand alright on their own. Happy to read more Baker but sad that I'm plowing through her work so fast!
