Congratulations! It's so much fun finding out who wrote it, since we never know when reading the stories. Loved it!

There's a lovely review of Silver's story up at Tangent Online now.
quote:The cover title story "A Warrior's Death," by the talented Aliette de Bodard, is a richly set piece about the suspicious death of a "War-God" vessel (a human who has accepted the God of War into his/her body to aid in battle). We're treated to an abbreviated investigation, some veiled philosophy about the culture of war, and how it's the sacrifices of the unseen that truly matter. This is a multi-layered work of fantasy, and quite enjoyable.
quote:In "A Warrior's Death" by Aliette de Bodard, we get an unusual story about an Aztec-like culture. A disgraced warrior is asked to investigate the death of a man who was to be sacrificed to the War God. How this concludes is very clever.
