I've read so far the first one, "The cosmic poachers". It's only 13 pages long, and it's nothing outstanding. It's not bad either, a nice real short story to read it to your kids as they fall asleep. There is an amusing plot twist, but nothing else that memorable.

Martians come in clouds (1953)
It uses sci-fi themes just as an allegory on what happens in real life, when people encounter anyone who is not like them.

"Some kind of life" - a 13-page and relatively light story, without much of a plot twist.

The next story in this collection is called Progeny.
It is an interesting take on a possible way of education in the future. In this short story, we are facing a future world where people are not allowed to see their kids from their birth day and until they are 18 years old.
