"Break all rules, including these." So advises one of the stories in this reprint collection. These stories jump – conscientiously – from a homage to Alexandre Dumas to an action-packed adventure set in the near future. There's also an epic fantasy or space opera – take your pick – told in aphorisms, a contemplation on death, and a tale of what happens when walls begin to divide a place. As Lyndon Perry wrote of the now-out-of print PS Publishing hardcover edition, "Moore's style rises above a particular perspective and stands on its own as quality short fiction."
