This book also contains three new stories that have never been published before: "Black Ordermage," set in Modesitt's bestselling Recluce series; "Beyond the Obvious Wind," set in his Corean Chronicles universe; and "Always Outside the Lines," which is related to the Ghost of Columbia books.Viewpoints Criticalis an excellent introduction to the work of one of the major SF and fantasy writers publishing today.

“The collection amply demonstrates [Modesitt’s] probing intelligence and the breathtaking range of his inquiries.”
