Randell Garrett was a talented sci fi author. His work was NEVER cold war era nonsense, not one mention of commies, Reds, or Russian plots in space here. (If you've never read Andre Nortens sci-fi collection, word of warning: she was a full blown commie-phobe)Garrets' work was real, These stories are entertaining, old school sci fi and total1000's of pages for practically free!This is interesting stuff...25 stories, each in the 50 to 150 page range. A little like classic Twighlight Zone episodes, only a bit longer, with some wry sarcasm and a sense of humor thrown in.Apparently Garrett passed away around middle age. His work is less known today than are the books written by others who wrote sci fi in the 50's.  I feel that his writing has stood up better to the test of time because He didn't seem compelled to include 1950's fears and politics into his stories. Also, He did not fill his stories with amusing 1950's comic book science, thus keeping them readable today.  Light, not too serious reading. Good for a rainy weekend. Aloha.
