Ratings and reviews

Some reasonable (abiet, sexist and arrogant) stories in here. I wasn't too perturbed by any editing issues, but some of the stories annoyed me so much that I skipped the whole thing. Some of authors Visions were really pathetic, I mean, doing complicated hyperspace calculations on computers that whirred, clicked and spat out an answer on paper tape - PLEASE! Also the dismissal of any spiritual beliefs as archaic, whilst promoting humanism? Yep, you go conquering the Universe with your few pounds of gray matter and your mighty paper tape computers. Some real lack of vision in some of these tomes, but worth a look

It's sci-fi, its great - if only it was complete. Unfortunately its not. Not all the stories have endings, they just stop mid-sentence. Badly done conversion.

Compilation of short stories, on a variety of themes. Quite enjoyable. Occasional oddities with format, but not problematic. Reasonable value for money. These stories were written some time ago, so some a little dated in some areas, and concepts.
