Joe
Abercrombie said: “I’m very pleased that some widely scattered shorts are going
to be brought together in one volume along with some new stories about old
friends and enemies, filling in some blanks in the map of the First Law world
and offering some different perspectives on key events. I hope readers
will have as much fun revisiting some of these much-loved - and much-hated -
characters as I have . . ."
