Reviews

[Riju Ganguly · Rating 4 out of 5]

This anthology series seeks to revive the tradition of 'retro' anthologies based on golden-age science fiction stories. In addition to the older works, we also get to read potent new stories and superlative 'regular' features. This volume also featured a host of such stories and articles. Crowning glory was secured by the following:
1. John W. Campbell's 'Who Goes There?'
2. Douglas Smith's 'By Her Hand, She Draws You Down';
3. Jack Williamson's 'The Masked World';
4. Philip K. Dick's 'Human Is';
5. Matt Cowan's 'Threat Watch';
6. Todd Treichel's 'How Weird is That?'
Overall, this volume provided lots of entertainment. Recommended.
