Warriors by George R.R. Martin

Picked this up for Gabaldon's "The Custom of the Army," another Lord John installment. This story, for those familiar with John, brings him to Canada and introduces Manoke, a character with little background in other novels. I always love Gabaldon's stories, this was no exception.
I've read a handful of other stories from the book, it's still hanging around just in case I'm tempted to read further. I thought starting off with Cecelia Holland's story was an odd choice, easily the weakest that I've read from the collection. Very much enjoyed Peter Beagle's "Dirae" and Robin Hobb's "The Triumph." While I've heard of all but two of the contributing authors, I'd only previously read Gabaldon and Beagle. This has been a nice introduction to authors I'd not likely have read otherwise.
