Reviews

Seen One you've seen most of them.

John Campbell is a bit repetitive in his storytelling. He varies the characters and some of the details of each story, but the stories seem to take on a sameness after one or two.

Not great story telling

Too much scientific data as to what good SF should be. It would have been better if it had a good story line. I did not finish one story as it just did not get my imagination going

A really good read. all the stories keep your attention and you don't want to set it down until you are done.
