Reviews

One of the last of the great pulp writers of SF's golden age, nonagenarian Bond offers plenty of good old-fashioned space opera fun in his third Arkham House collection (after 2002's Far Side of Nowhere). Plucked mostly from minor pulp magazines of the 1940s, these action-filled tales, however dated or formulaic, remain surprisingly exciting to read. In "Luxury Liner," intrepid spacemen fly spaceships powered by engines made of vacuum tubes; brave earthmen and a Venusian fight tyranny and a "disintegrating machine" in "Phantom Out of Time." A highlight is the short novel Gods of the Jungle, set in Angkor Wat, where Japanese invaders suffer from both American airmen and embarrassing political incorrectness. Period illustrations complete the time trip. (Sept.)
