About this book

This volume gathers short science fiction by Harry Harrison, one of the genre's most entertaining storytellers. Across these tales he swings from wry comedy to grim irony, sending readers to strange worlds and awkward first meetings while poking at the conventions of pulp adventure even as he delivers its pleasures. Harrison had a reporter's eye for how ordinary people behave under pressure and a satirist's instinct for the absurdities of power, war, and bureaucracy, and both show up plainly in his shorter work. The collection offers a fine look at the range behind his famous novels, moving from lighthearted escapades to darker speculation about where humanity is headed.
