A collection of old-fashioned tales about heroic exploits on and between other planets. Among others Dickson provides a self-sacrificing lunar explorer; a starship astrojacking; a superalien and a superman, marooned and locked in mortal combat; and several variations on the human-race-as-galactic-conqueror theme. The most interesting story involves a confrontation between earthmen and aliens who use genetics and surgery to alter the shapes of various beings for amusement.
