This collection of short stories ranges from science fiction to horror and is by the author of "Orbitsville", "The Peace Machine", and "A Wreath of Stars", which won the British Science Fiction Award. This description may be from another edition of this product.
If you appreciate the short story form read this book. Every story contained within it's pages is an unrecognized gem. The opening story (for which the book is named) even ventures into the realm of horror, making you wish Bob Shaw had gone that route more often. Offhand I can't think of many single author short story compilations that are any better than this one.
