The first anthology of short stories set on Darkover, spanning Darkovan history: from shortly after the arrival of the lost Terran ship, through the Ages of Chaos, the rise of the Comyn and the establishment of the Compact, and the eventual return the Terrans. This anthology, first published in 1980, contains stories by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Elisabeth Waters, Diana L. Paxson, Susan M. Shwartz, Patricia Shaw Mathews, Cynthia McQuillin, Jacqueline Lichtenberg and Jean Lorrah, Linda MacKendrick, Kathleen Williams, Penny Ziegler, Eileen Ledbetter, Linda Frankel, and Paula Crunk.… (plus d'informations)
No one will mistake this for great literature or great science fiction, so why rate it so high? Well, I was surprised at how well these held up. I haven't reread this for years--maybe decades. Yet I remember all the stories, some just from the title, others just a few paragraphs in, and that's rare for me with a short story anthology after so much time. Three of the 16 short stories are written or co-written by Marion Zimmer Bradley herself. My favorites were Elizabeth Water's "The Alton Gift" (a gut-punch of a story, one of those I remembered just from the title) and the one she co-authored with MZB, "The Keeper's Price," which gave the name to the anthology, two paired stories, Penny Ziegler's "A Simple Dream" and a sequel "Paloma Blanca" by Patricia Matthews and the concluding humor piece, Paula Crunk's "A View from the Reconstruction." Sure, if you don't already know and love Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover stories there really is no reason to read this--that would be a given. But if you do love Darkover, I can't imagine not loving these stories. Fan fiction or not, the stories in this anthology combine the loving eye of the fan and all the skillful hand of the professional writer--which is exactly what many of these authors were or would become.

There was me thinking I'd kicked the Darkover habit. Apparently not. I didn't re-read the entire anthology, only a few of the stories. The one thing I hadn't noticed before was quite how dripping with sarcasm MZB's introductions can be. Which is ironic on the one hand, given that she did struggle with grammatically correct English, but understandable on the other: reading all the bad fanfic for your own universe sounds kind of soul-destroying. ;-) ( )

Schweigend hoben die Trauergäste ihre Zinnkrüge vor dem leeren Stuhl am Kopf der langen Tafel, leerten sie und stellten sie nieder.
Vai Dom:
Silently the funeral guests raised their power mugs to the empty chair at the head of the long table, drained them, and set them down.

Auf das delirante Gefasel dieser Schurken, wonach Piedro angeblich ihre Rechte verletzt habe und obendrein den Vertrag, hört niemand, der auch nur einen Funken gesunden Menschenverstandes besaß.
