So, 60-65 years on, are these stories still enjoyable and worth the read? I'd say yes and no. The stories vary in interest and some were pretty boring. The first story is a very '50s old-fashioned exploration team type story, but the anthology picks up briefly with Walter Miller's Mars tale 'Crucifixius Etiam'. I probably would have enjoyed this book more if I read it in 1968. Even then, with stuff like Dangerous Visions cutting new ground back then these stories would have felt old-fashioned. I did enjoy James Schmitz's story "Grandpa". I may have read that one long ago. It is set either on the same world as his novel "The Demon Breed" or one very much like it. Nice alien water ecology story. Similarly, I think it was the interesting alien ecology as well as good characters that pulled me into Pauline Ashwell's "Big Sword". ( )
