This looks like a great anthology with a lot of well- known authors. It's a little ways out yet, not releasing until December, but I'm looking forward to it. The biggest draw for me, of course, is the new Ice and Fire background story by George RR Martin. With such a long wait between books it's nice to get a little tide-me-over once in a while...
