I love the stories of Theodore Sturgeon, but this is not anywhere close to his best.

Three of the five stories here were new to me. The two longer stories, "The Wages of Synergy" and "The Incubi of Parallel X," both start with a reasonably promising concept, but neither particularly works well (and I found the ending of "Wages" to be particularly disappointing). (
