Every time I read these stories, I'm struck by just how consistently awesome they are. Granted I still don't quite get the point of 'A Galaxy Called Rome', and I sometimes feel I'm missing something in 'World War II' the rest are examples of some of the best short sci-fi anywhere.

From the beautifully descriptive 'Dune Roller' penned by a teenage Julian May, to Terry Carr's haunting 'Rejoice, Rejoice, We Have No Choice' it's thought provoking and enjoyable. There are less known pieces here too, like McKenna's 'The Night Of Hoggy Darn' that don't seem dated at all regardless of original publication date. Plenty here to enjoy again and again. I wonder if Alpha 1 thru 6 are around somewhere.... ( )
