Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes with the exception of 2 of the stories "A Ship Named Francis" and "Let's Go To Prague" they let down an otherwise incredible short story collection

What did you like best about this story?

In The Service of the Sword was the best of the collection, with Promised Land coming a close second. Both were tightly plotted very involving stories that got me really involved with the main characters. Fanatic was also a very intriguing look at Victor Cachet from the outside.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Yes, yet again Allyson Johnson did her normal fantastic job

Could you see The Service of the Sword being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

not really

Any additional comments?

This is the 4th in the "Worlds of Honor" anthology series, and despite two lacklustre stories is one of the best, simply due to the strength of Promised Land, With One Stone, Fanatic and Serive of the Sword (the best story in the volume imo).

A mixed bag but well worth it
