Reviews and Comments
Rather than being “The Best Of.....” this is a collection of ten short stories ranging from 1939 to 1971 and as the author readily admits in his rather modest introduction the first two are not in the same league as some of his later work. The full listing in my 1975 Sphere paperback are: 1939: Madness from Mars 1940: Sunspot Purge 1958: The Sitters 1959: A Death in the House 1960: Final Gentleman 1961: Shotgun Cure 1963: Day of Truce 1965: Small Deer 1970: The Thing in the Stone 1971: The Autumn Land Bibliography This is a great collection and a good introduction to Simak's work, I would recommend this to anyone interested in discovering one of the more significant Science Fiction authors of the last century.
