Rating: 4 out of 5

I wasn't familiar with Piper until I happened across this 99 cent kindle compilation of five short stories (although I had read the first story "Genesis" at some point in the distant past).  These are great examples of true classic sci fi stories, originally published in '50s pulp magazines.By and large, the stories hold up well but there are a few "future" technology details that seem dated.  And like much pulp sci fi from the fifties you can see the unfortunate influence of McCarthyism; but, as with much older fiction if you can get past that and accept it as a reality of the time it was written, the story is very enjoyable.This inexpensive kindle editon is very well formated.  This little book serves as a great introduction to Piper or just as a quick read when you are in the mood for classic pulp stories.
