FICTION NOTHER anthology comes trom T.: .V. Boardman (14, Cock- spur Street, London S.W.1), and it is pretty good, though not in the top flight. STAR SCIENCE FICTION STORIES, which costs 9s. 6d., is a collection of fifteen stories edited by Frederik Pohl. The anthology previ- ously appeared in America, of course, and is predomin- antly American in flavour, but is none the worse for that. The only British authors represented are John Wynd- ham (The Chronoclasm) and Arthur C. Clarke (The Nine Billion Names of God). The Americans are all somewhere near the top of the tree, though some are not quite as 132 high as others. The anthology as a whole is a bit patchy, but the poorer stories are fully compensated for by pieces from Clifford D. Simak, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore. CGC. M. Korn- bluth (author of the accom- plished book Take-Off) is not up to his usual standard here; but his standard is so high that this does not matter. Lester del Rey, Fritz Lei- ber, Wiliam Tenn, H. L: Gold, Judith Merril, Robert Sheckley and Murray Lein- ster are runners-up in the contents list. All good, sound stories. Nothing world-shat- tering. Nothing dull. Quite a good anthology as these things go these days. The only other fiction title comicloooks.com
