Blurb: “WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE JUDGED
THE WORLD'S BEST SCIENCE FICTION MAGAZINE?
- Take THE SILKIE by A. E. van Vogt, the exciting action tale of a man who is no longer human, but who knows he must battle on humanity's side against deadly creatures from the stars.
- Add TRICK OR TREATY by Keith Laumer, an outrageously funny adventure of interstellar diplomat Retief.
- Include FATHER OF THE STARS by Frederik Pohl, the moving story of a man who tried to give interstellar travel to his people and whose failure, paradoxically, was his greatest success.
Then publish more top stories by Robert F. Young, Fred Saberhagen, John Brunner, Jerome Bixby, Fritz Leiber ... in fact, all of today's finest s-f writers. That makes a great magazine-and in this book you'll find the best-of-the-best, a collection no s-f reader can afford to miss!”
