Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Whether dealing with aliens ("Firewater,"), time travel ("Time in Advance") or investigating one of the many other sf themes, the 33 stories in this collection, the first of two volumes, demonstrates Tenn's vibrant talent and broad scope. An introduction by Connie Willis sets the tone, while accompanying notes by the author reveal insights into the creative mind at work. A good addition to sf and short fiction collections. [The two volumes will include all the stories that appeared in his collections published by Allentine in the 1950s and 1960s. Ed.]

From Booklist
The first of two planned volumes reprints 33 pieces from one of the finest bodies of short sf and fantasy. William Tenn (ne Philip Klass) himself contributes historically valuable afterwords, but the stories, most of them satirical, stand extremely well on their own. Some standouts: "Alexander the Bait," which satirizes greed and space flight; "Down among the Dead Men," a better take on cloning than most of its subsequent rivals for 46 years; "The Liberation of Earth" and "Generation of Noah," both antiwar classics and good stories; "The Masculinist Revolt," which, well ahead of its time, concerned sex roles, better than most of the competition since; and "On Venus Have We Got a Rabbi," which avoids stereotypes while tackling religion. Another invaluable addition to NESFA's catalog of classic sf collections. Librarians, stock up. Roland Green
