Customer Reviews

Enjoyable Diversion

First, ignore the... editor's reviews - there is only one Bill story and the Stainless Steel Rat is no where to be seen. Instead, here is a pleasing collection of short stories that appear to have been written over the course of several decades. All of the stories are enjoyable reads; some are amusing, some moving, some disturbing. Most have a delicious twist at the end. (Keep an eye out for the farmcat.) Highly recommended for anyone who has ever enjoyed a Harry Harrison book.

The dark side of the moon

I must say that this is a collection of some excellent stories, may of which are either somewhat dark, or have unhappy endings. But these are the type that scare us somewhat, because we look into our soul and examine ourselves in a new light.A good read for any time of the day, Harry Harrison's "Galactic Dreams" is a well done collection of short stories, whose plots range from funny familiars, to hauntingly frightening newbies.
