Roger Elwood was an American science fiction writer and editor, perhaps best known for having edited a large number of anthologies and collections for a variety of publishers in the early 1970s. Elwood was also the founding editor of Laser Books and, in more recent years, worked in the evangelical Christian market.
great cover!! what a shocking image.... i felt, reading on the bus with this eye staring out of a chemical reaction of time, that i should be regarded as a strange potentially lewd vagrant.... but the stories themselves are mostly so-so. there is a linking thread of cheesey and outdated 70's pop-ideological themes. A lot of stuff which was intended as subversive comes across as pretty racist/sexist now...
of all them "The Defenceless Dead" stands tallest, with a cold and cynical dissection of cryogenics.
