I dunno. I *know* WJW is a good writer, and I have enjoyed other works by him. This one just didn't draw me in. A couple of stories felt more like craftsmanship than stories. I found, for example, that while it's an impressive feat to have Nietzsche meet Wyatt Earp, I wasn't a story that made me eager to learn how it ended.

Maybe it's because I was just coming down from reading Fonda Lee's Jade Wars, which is tense and loaded with action. I should have gone to a light fantasy or something next.

It's weird, I know of Walter Jon Williams, I know he's supposed to be good, I could swear I've read something by him before, but digging through various lists of what he's written, I can't find anything familiar. I bailed out of SW:NJO before he started writing in that series and while I've heard of a lot of his books, I haven't read them. Strange. Anyhow, after reading this collection of shorts, I probably have to track down some of his other work now.
