The stories themselves are, purposefully, incredibly varied. Some are funny, others heartbreakingly sad and others thrilling. The common thing across the board is that these are excellent stories. It is an incredible authors and stories. There isn’t much I can say, this is an anthology of some of the best writers and stories of science fiction.

What I really enjoyed was the range and quality of the stories. Although sharing the same genre the stories were completely different to each other: in tone, style and content. I would also like to note the authors present. Now, this anthology covers the last 60 years so there’s a near definite chance of being introduced to a new writer. It’s an excellent opportunity to be introduced to an author you may never otherwise stumble upon, and you have the added security of knowing that these are all good authors who had success in their field.
