About this book
This gathering brings together the early short science fiction Budrys published in the pulp magazines of the 1950s, the decade when he made his name alongside the genre's rising talents. The stories turn on questions of identity, loyalty, and what separates the human from the machine or the alien, handled with more emotional weight than the era's adventure formulas usually allowed. Budrys had a gift for taking a familiar premise and quietly unsettling it, and these pieces show a writer already thinking hard about the moral cost of his ideas. Readers new to his work will find an accessible introduction to a thoughtful voice.
