Book reviews
One to Go by Raymond E. Feist: An Old Thief's Last Job in Sanctuary
Book: Thieves’ World: Turning Points Editor: Lynn Abbey Story: “One to Go” by Raymond E. Feist
The Big Name Closer
Raymond E. Feist was part of the original Thieves’ World lineup. He’s the guy who created Jimmy the Hand, one of the most beloved characters in the entire series. So having him write the final story in this revival anthology feels right. It’s like a veteran returning for the encore.
Apocalypse Noun by Jeff Grubb: Words That Can Destroy the World
Book: Thieves’ World: Turning Points Editor: Lynn Abbey Story: “Apocalypse Noun” by Jeff Grubb
Yes, That Title Is Real
“Apocalypse Noun.” Two words that shouldn’t go together but absolutely do. Jeff Grubb gives us one of the most purely entertaining stories in this entire anthology. It’s got humor, action, a chase scene through the streets of Sanctuary, and a very dangerous linguist who just wants to be left alone with his books.

What Even Is Thieves’ World?
If you’ve never heard of Thieves’ World, here’s the short version. Back in 1979, editor Robert Lynn Asprin had a wild idea. What if you took a bunch of fantasy authors, gave them the same city to play in, and let them write stories that shared characters, locations, and consequences? What one writer did in their story would actually affect the world another writer was building in theirs.
