5.0 out of 5 starsSuperb value mostly fantasy collection (just ignore the Game of Thrones contribution)
By Brian Clegg TOP 500 REVIEWER on 29 Aug. 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Given the respective genres the editors write in, I assumed that Rogues, a fat collection of short stories edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois, would be a mix of fantasy and SF stories, but in fact the 21 stories (mostly fairly long, in the 30-50 page range) are predominantly fantasy with a couple of crime stories and only one solidly science fiction piece.

All but a couple of the stories are good, but I was surprised to find that the ones that captivated me most were the 'straight' stories, particularly a highly entertaining tale by Bradley Denton involving the theft of a high school sousaphone and a dodgy teacher's attempts to muscle in on the action. As is the case with all the stories, the main character is something of a rogue - but also like most of them, a likeable one.

Although I'm not a great fan of swords and sorcery fantasy books, I found the short stories (which are mostly in this style), perhaps because of the tongue-in-cheek rogue main characters, highly entertaining, and in a couple of cases I noted down an author for further reading. I'm wondering if this sampler effect is why the book is such amazingly good value - a 900+ page paperback for just £2. Whatever the reason it's a great read.

Interestingly, of the three big names in the book, only one came across well - this was Gillian Flynn, whose books I've never read, but who provides a thoughtful non-fantasy tale. The story I was most looking forward to was by Neil Gaiman - and this was a significant disappointment. I love urban fantasies, and Gaiman's Neverwhere is one of my favourite books.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsBULK OVER QUALITY
By Clive on 13 Feb. 2017
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I'm not naïve but I guess that I'm still gullible, I know that the publisher has set the second largest print on the cover proclaiming 'George RR Martin' as a hook to draw in those among the many thousands of devotees of Mr Martin's work when, in fact, this book contains only one story by the man himself. In this case, that device was especially galling given the style of GRR Martin's actual story (more of that later).

After a long, rambling and not very interesting introduction by GRR Martin, this volume, epic in its sheer size, contains 21 stories. The book itself makes clear that these are very varied so it's no surprise that some are good, some poor and some indifferent. sadly, there aren't many in the 'good' category, with most falling into 'indifferent' and there simply aren't any that are 'stand out wow'.

My main gripe with this volume is the idea that they are short stories when, with a few exceptions, they aren't. They are episodes. I once read a fascinating article by the mystery thriller writer Jeffery Deaver in which he set out, very accurately in my opinion, what it takes to create a short story and just why it is much more difficult than most folk think. The essence is that a short story must contain all of the elements of a full-sized novel, including a beginning, a middle and an end, such that the whole thing is an encapsulated and complete story in its own right. The problem with most of the entries in Rogues is that they don't do that. Many of them use characters taken from earlier works by the author and others start their stories in the middle, with an apparent back-story that isn't explained. The result is that most of these read like an episode or chapter taken from the middle of a larger book and not as a proper short story.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsCompendium of the best modern fantasy authors
By AH on 26 Mar. 2017
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
There are a lot of great authors in here, but it's quite hit and miss as to how good each novella is. However, the good ones more than make up for the mediocre ones.

As with most anthologies, there are a few gems and a few duds. I've found a couple of authors through this who I want to hear more from, though, so that has to be worth something.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Good Read
By Mrs. M. Boyd on 3 Mar. 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Began reading S/F 9 years of age still do at 75 years of age. First books,were anthologies; met many a fine writer and many crappy ones; at 9 devoured them all. Seldom read short stories now but 'Rogues' brought back all that pleasure and most of the enthrallment. Glad I came across it .Before I am corrected my purchases then were from second hand bookshops who did not have 'Fantasy' section, mostly what I bought, for pence, were jumbled up on a table labelled Science Fiction even Sci/Fi came a lot later. Had to hide them from my Mum who deemed them worse than comics but I saved on bus fares by walking miles to get those pennies.
