Taken as a whole, this book makes interesting, even fascinating reading. Tsiolkovsky’s stories are of tremen dous interest and urge us to ponder over the many purely specific problems of space travel. They will, undoubtedly, increase the number of enthusiasts in this branch of science and technology. His “On the Moon”, “Outside the Earth” and other stories afford hours of entertainment and leave a lasting impression. Illustrated here is the world outlook of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky,...

A selection of short works from 1929-63 covering all aspects of science fiction. Not very many famous writers in this anthology, as I was going more for date of publication over fame. An editorial most likely by a young Ray Bradbury, from his Future Fantasia of 1939, is the biggest name talent here. Cover art is by my brother, John, of various stages of...

Read at Your Own Risk Before reading Stanislaw Lem’s “FIASCO” you might consider doing a modicum of homework. Plus, strap yourself into a sturdy chair (or other device as might be required for acceleration to light speed) since you will be challenged in some of your most cherished illusions – specifically, “What am I?” and “What do I know about the world I live in beyond the few millimeters from the end of my nose?” Some topics you must select for (in depth) study might...
