An eminently enjoyable anthology of science fiction short stories focused on British authors and space travel/planets other than earth. It features stories by; John Beynon, Arthur C Clarke, John Wyndham, John Christopher, Peter Phillips, JW Groves, William F Temple, George Whitley, JT M'Intosh and Ian Williamson.

I think my favourite two stories in the anthology were Two Shadows by Temple and Machine Made by M'Intosh with Beynon's No Place Like Earth coming in very close.

A nice mix of themes from exploration, disaster, homesickness and general speculative future fiction, definitely worth picking up if you enjoy 1950s science fiction, or really science fiction in general. (
