5.0

Look, this is great stuff and includes *several* award-nominated fantasy and SF stories about space pirates, scruffy mages, highly professional assassins, desperate escape artists, all the thieves you could ask for, and various punks of cyber and other persuasions. As a bonus, some of the stories are magnificently illustrated by Shauna O'Meara.

(Caveat: I have a story in this collection)
