Mix of good sci-fi shorts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is a few short stories bundled together, each independent. The first story was my favorite, with a great last sentence (won't spoil it for you). A man seeks the "great secret" of a old, advanced civilization in an abandoned city that will bring him riches. Which of course, is not quite what he expects. Any one of these short stories would win a modern sci fi contest, no problem. Amazingly timeless. Recommended.
Unexpected ending
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This story took me by surprise. From the moment I started to read it, I knew something was up and this propelled me through the story. You will not forget this sci-fi pulp classic.
