Reviews

[Doug · Rating 3 out of 5]

An OK book if you are looking for 1950's sci fi, they used to be in yellow dust jackets in our library.
The stories are generally delightful reminders of a time before computers were developed let alone thought of as having a function in space travel, when it was thought men would physically wrestle with space travelling rockets in the way they had wrestled with machines during wartime.
No really inspiring tales, unfortunately.

[Scott Winegar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent reading.

I have read the first eleven of these stories. I like the way the stories are told and the writing style. I am looking to read the next in the series.

Only a couple of OK stories here.
