A great collection of classic scifi authors, including stories by James Blish, Kate Wilhelm, Thomas Disch, Poul Anderson, Allison Rice and Virginia Kidd.
The stories are typical of what you would expect from 60's scifi, concise, well plotted and with interesting themes. Unlike short stories in anthology collections, they are actually complete stories, not just concepts.

Some highlights:
Staras Flonderans - future humans in space have a Lovecraftian horror style flashback.
The Disinherited - humans on a world with intelligent aliens have to face a difficult choice.
Kangaroo Court - kangaroo-like aliens come back to visit Earth - again. Ooops.
5 Eggs - a very short, very horrific story about a human and alien relationship. ( )

Staras Flonderans - Kate Wilhelm. Dull
The Secret Place - Richard Mckenna.Dull and dated.
How Beautiful with Banners - James Blish. Dated.
The Disinherited - Poul Anderson. OK
The Loolies are Here - Allison Rice. Hilarious, excellent.
Kangaroo Court - Virginia Kidd. Dreadful.
Splice of Life - Sonya Dorman.Good
5 Eggs - Thomas M Disch. Good
The Deeps - Keith Roberts. OK ( )
