The Short Takes of Dal the Thief

Dal the Thief is known not just for his bold robberies, but for committing crimes in the service of what's right and good. Not all of his adventures were grand, though. Some were small acts that had a wide impact. Several of these "short takes" are in this collection, showing how Dal enhanced his reputation and made powerful friends. Robert Collins is the author of the science-fiction novels "Monitor," "Lisa's Way," and "Expert Assistance." He's also author of the fantasy novels "Cassia" and "The Opposite of Absolute," and the young adult novel "True Friends." He has several short-story collections available, including "The Frigate Victory Omnibus Collection" and "The Case Files of Gwen Conner." Dal sometimes steals, sometimes does good deeds, and always uses wit and his wits to come out ahead.
