(Afterword by Fritz Leiber)

Original appearances from 1945 to 1970 - in Astounding, Galaxy, Magazine of F&SF, Fantastic, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Fantastic Adventures, Night's Black Agents, Star S.F. 1, 4, Dangerous Visions, and The Year 2000. For 9 of these - this is their first appearance in a Leiber collection. Fritz Leiber is a master storyteller, and one of the few SF authors for whom total collection of all of his output would be a good idea. My only objection to this collection is that it is not big enough.
