Very much a relic of the beginnings of modern sf. An enjoyable, but disjointed book, one has to remember it's an assembly of short stories.

Worth reading, for nothing more than the historical significance to the genre, but it can be a difficult read from time to time. The prose is excellent, even with the occasional OCR typo, but the characters are unlikable and unbelievable, subject to random whims of folly to drive the plot
