This anthology collects the first published stories of writers who would later go on to be among the most celebrated names in science fiction. Some authors, such as Lester del Rey and Theodore Sturgeon, improved greatly later to judge from their sub-standard initial offerings.

Yet these and a few other disappointments are offset by some remarkable stories from Zenna Henderson, Algis Budrys, Philip K. Dick, Avram Davidson, JG Ballard, and others.
