This is the first story collection ever from bestselling fantasy and science fiction writer L. E. Modesitt, Jr. Modesitt began publishing short fiction in the SF magazines in the 1970s, and this collection includes a selection of stories from the whole of his career. Some of the early stories are kernels for his early SF novels, others display the wide range of his talents and interests, from satire to military adventure.

This book also contains three new stories that have never been published before: “Black Ordermage,” set in Modesitt’s bestselling Recluce series; “Beyond the Obvious Wind,” set in his Corean Chronicles universe; and “Always Outside the Lines,” which is related to the Ghost of Columbia books. Viewpoints Critical is an excellent introduction to the work of one of the major SF and fantasy writers publishing today.

Praise for Viewpoints Critical

Praise for Viewpoints Critical:

“The collection amply demonstrates [Modesitt’s] probing intelligence and the breathtaking range of his inquiries.”
--Kirkus Reviews

“This impressive collection of reprints dating back to 1973 and a handful of new stories displays Modesitt’s breadth of experience and knowledge to great effect. As in Modesitt’s novels, eloquent prose and skilled characterization are evident.”
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“L. E. Modesitt’s character development is top-notch. If you haven’t read anything by him, pick up this book and introduce yourself.”
