5.0 out of 5 stars
Classic Pulp SF,
This review is from: Interplanetary Odysseys - Classic Tales of Interplanetary Adventure Including: A Martian Odyssey, its Sequel Valley of Dreams, the Complete 'Ham' Hammond Stories and Others (v. 1) (Paperback)
I was delighted to see these new editions of Weinbaum's fiction. My paperback copy of "The Best of Stanley Weinbaum" is now over 30 years old, and my other paperbacks are older.
There's no introduction with biography or criticism of Weinbaum, just the stories. You've probably come across "A Martian Odyssey" in some anthology. It's the first of a connected series of short stories spanning the solar system as it was known in the 1930s. Weinbaum was trying to do planetary adventure in hard SF as he understood biology, evolution, and planetology. His stories stand up well, especially because his women are usually talented and smart, and his aliens are usually strange but not stupid. It's definitely a good addition to your library. |
