This review is from: Dawn of Time: Prehistory Through Science Fiction (Hardcover)

Mr. Silverberg does not provide much in the way of explanatory text (e.g., context for each story, relation to authors' previous work, etc.), and those used to Martin H. Greenberg's approach to anthologies will be a bit disappointed. However, this 1979 anthology of out-of-print stories beats the pants off many a 1990's 'anthology' of cookie-cutter stories around a similar theme. The stories themselves range from 'readable' to 'unforgetable' -- enjoy!
