Man faces the challenge of an ever-expanding galactic future

Back cover text

In the world of the future there may be robots that think — space travel — inter-planetary trade wars, and strange creatures from other worlds. But human passions will remain the same.

In this collection of brilliant short stories, a noted science fiction writer shows a universe in which everything is unfamiliar but man's unchanging emotions — self preservation, greed, honor, cowardice and love.
