Superb stories of outer space — where the unexpected is an everyday occurrence ... the unforeseen an ever-present danger.
The Unforeseen
Two men alone on a space station — an over-zealous colonel and the civilian who tries to talk him out of dropping three hydrogen bombs on Washington, D.C.
A seductive actress signs up for the maiden flight of a space ship so that she can track down the husband who jilted her.
A fiendishly clever agent infiltrates a top-secret government project and threatens the very existence of Earth.
James Blish's starkly realistic stories mirror the perils of the world of the future — a world where scientists can master the intricacies of space travel but cannot yet control the mind ... of man.
