Customer Reviews

A time capsule of great pulp SF

Damon Knight digs deep and rescues an excellent selection of SF stories from the BC era (Before Campbell). While some suffer from pulpy writing, each story is bursting with flashy, grab-you-by-the-lapels-and-shake-you ideas. I also feel a lot of wry amusement reading stories with ideas that Hollywood has tried to rip off and present as their own.Great fun!
