<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00657ZEW6/" target="blank">The Science Fiction Megapack</a> Even at 99 cents, it's not a bargain. Now; even though I'm critical of this first in a five-book series, I want you to know that the other four are pretty good and are definitely worth the buck that each one costs. Just skip this one and get the others.Frankly, while there are a couple of good stories in this first volume, most are just old, musty, public-domain relics that can be had for nothing on other sites, that is if you're really into the archeological roots of science fiction. It's difficult to take stories written 70-years-ago seriously about races of Venus and Mars and so on. We know too much here in 2013 to even suspend our disbelief to read them.Again, the following four volumes in the Megapack series are much better. . . than this one.
