These two books are Born to Run and Chrome Circle bound together. It can be a little confusing because they are the first and fourth books in a series, and one of the main characters in Chrome Circle originated from the second book in the series. These books are very funny, and Tannim is a very cool character. The first book starts very abruptly, but it was understandable and exciting. Two thumbs up.

I think my title says it all. I've read this book so many times the cover has fallen off, and I'm thinking of getting a new copy. This book has to stories in it, which you can buy seprately. Both of them are really good, although the second one gave me a scare at the end. It's about a group of elves into racecar driving who own a aompany called Fairgrove Industries, along with a few human mages. There is a slight love story in the second book also, though it dosen't get in the way of the rest of the story. I wonderfol book.

if you haven't noticed, mercedes lackey (or her publishers) are taking some of her series of books, and putting them into one total anthology. In the long run, it saves everybody money, and we have MORE space on our shelves for books! I say kudos! in fact, i was able to get an out of print book in this manner, one that really helped my personal understanding of a series.

A lot of people complaining that this is merely a reprint of "Chrome Circle." IT ISN'T! It is a reprint of BOTH "Born to Run" and "Chrome Circle." While I imagine that, yes, it would be disappointing to receive this when you've already got them, to me that just indicates that you didn't check it out thoroughly, and just bought it because of who wrote it or the series it belonged to. Myself, I enjoyed both stories, and was happy to get two for the price of one. Same goes for "The OtherWorld," only more so because I couldn't find "Wheel of Fire" in print anywhere.

I am extremely disappointed when I buy a book by a favorite author only to discover it is a reprint of something already on my shelf. ............

I did not realize when I purchased this book that it was exactly the same as Chrome Circle, only with a different name. It was a waste of my money as I already have Chrome Circle and now I have two copies of the same story. I was very unhappy to have this happen.

The single star is a minimum requirement, I would rate this book as 0 stars - there is a certain lack of originality. I really loved this story - the first time around, but felt cheated when it arrived, not as I believed a sequel to the crome ring, just a reisue. Please don't do that to us. I like reading the books by ML, but I do not want to need to do research before I order new books, the least you could do was to tell the world that the book is not new.

Got involved in the series late -- never could find the first book. I'm SO glad they published this collection so I could get it!

It is too bad that a publisher is so anxious to make money that they release a book under a new name so that they can sell something that has already been sold and bought.

I am very annoyed. I purchased this book believing that it was a new one in the series and after a few pages realized that it was anything but! It would've been nice if I'd been told Before I made the purchase!
