5.0
A truly excellent anthology with some terrific takes on Gilgamesh and his time and space-travelling Bar...
Particular faves include: Wanderlust - Juliet E McKenna (set on Mars in the future!); Garth Nix - Welcome to the Jungle Bar (set in Vietnam during the War); Make Me Immortal with a Kiss (set on the eve of the Battle of the Somme - made me bawl); Honorbound - RK Nikel (set during the tail end of the Gallic War); The Wizard King - Kari Sperring (feat Owain Glyndŵr); A Lawman, an Outlaw and a Gambler Walk into a Bar - Gini Koch (set in the 'Wild West'); and The Whispering Voice - David Keener (feat an ordinary mom taking on 2 home invaders with the aid of a minor god).
