(Introduction by J. J. Pierce - Editor) Includes 5 of 6 stories from Leinster's first collection, Sidewise in Time (1950), and has only 3 stories in common with the 1976 British collection which first used this Best of Murray Leinster title. Original appearances from 1934 to 1956 - in Astounding (10), Collier's, Thrilling Wonder Stories (2.) Three of these stories had not been collected before in a Leinster collection - and 2 of those cannot be found in any other Leinster collection. Given the title used by the last story, I assume the source for that is the original version from Astounding (July 1956), and not the revised version titled "Solar Constant" - which was included in Colonial Survey (1957, a.k.a. The Planet Explorer.) |
