1963, 1968, Panther Books, London
no isbn
219p.
Eight short stories from one of the masters of the classic science fiction genre, AE van Vogt.
This is an interesting collection, consisting of mainly technology driven stories. It captures all the wonder and hope of the 1960s science and space dreams. My favourite story was The Great Engine about an engineer who discovers a fantastically advanced drive for a ship. I felt the last story in the collection, Asylum, really let it down as the story was vague and confusing.
