This review is from: The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Vol. IIA (Mass Market Paperback)
An anthology of stories chosing by the SFWA, from the sixties and earlier. A pretty good bunch, but given the age of some may not appeal as much now, with the stories set in closer to the present time, like the del Rey example, or Williamson. Even includes Wells' Time Machine, which most people will think of as a novel. The standouts are Campbell's Who Goes there and the ageless Cordwainer Smith's The Ballad of Lost C'Mell.
Still, another book worth having for the SF story fan's collection. Science Fiction Hall of Fame 2A : CALL ME JOE - Poul Anderson Science Fiction Hall of Fame 2A : WHO GOES THERE? - John W. CampbellJr. Science Fiction Hall of Fame 2A : NERVES - Lester delRey Science Fiction Hall of Fame 2A : UNIVERSE - Robert A. Heinlein Science Fiction Hall of Fame 2A : THE MARCHING MORONS - C. M. Kornbluth Science Fiction Hall of Fame 2A : VINTAGE SEASON - Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore Science Fiction Hall of Fame 2A : AND THEN THERE WERE NONE - Eric Frank Russell Science Fiction Hall of Fame 2A : THE BALLAD OF LOST C'MELL - Cordwainer Smith Science Fiction Hall of Fame 2A : BABY IS THREE - Theodore Sturgeon Science Fiction Hall of Fame 2A : THE TIME MACHINE - H. G. Wells Science Fiction Hall of Fame 2A : WITH FOLDED HANDS - Jack Williamson "Psibeams are persnickety" 3 out of 5 A discovery of a lifeform buried in the Antarctic ice causes serious problems for an isolated research team. 5 out of 5 Atomic accident surgery improvisation. 3.5 out of 5 Outside discovery ship mutiny conflict. 3.5 out of 5 Unfrozen average bloke's lemming solution lack of life lesson. 4 out of 5 Past holiday. 4 out of 5 Antigand-a be any authority around here, you crazy people. 4 out of 5 Underpeople Lord assisted deadly punishment escapage. 4.5 out of 5 Gestalt growth. 3.5 out of 5 It will come as no surprise that the protagonist in this story, the traveller, invents a time machine and uses it to venture into the future. The society that he ends up in seems amazing for a brief time, then he realises that all is not as it seems. There is a large underclass that is terribly exploited to produce all this for the eloi, as they are called. The underclass are named Morlocks, and it is here that the Time Traveler's sympathies reside. 3.5 out of 5 Robot home help useless. 2.5 out of 5 4.5 out of 5
