"Surely one of science fictions most happily argumentative representatives, an authority on a variety of subjects far too wide to list, and with a command of language, agility of mind and the total confidence to pass as an authority on any subject. -- In an odd way, this is what science fiction is all about : the ability to convince the reader, or the listener, of the absolute reality of total impossibilities. But of course, one needs more than gall, a good mind, and command of the language. One needs talent and professionalism, and experience - three qualities that add up to the controlled power which is the key to the finest of Lester del Rey's writing. Of which these five stories are a prime example." (From the cover blurb)
