Thanks as ever for keeping the wheels turning, >1 paradoxosalpha:

Reasonable showing for the Cold War era, with three stories, and a strong one for the 21st century with four. Mostly known authors for me, but largely new stories.

Looks good. I believe I already own 8 of these stories in print. That's a relief as I really dislike reading fiction off of a screen.
