review 1: An interesting collection of early science-fiction short stories. As a single "megapack," it's noteworthy in that it shows the stylistic limitations of early authors, while still reflecting the ingenuity they brought to the table. Contains Samuel R. Delany's "Captives of the Flame," which is worth the admission ticket alone.Got it for $0.99 as an Amazon Kindle book. I would have paid more, but not very much more.
review 2: Consisted of a selection of classic SF novella and novelettes, and a very long story by Samuel Delany (one of 25 or so stories, but more than 25% of the whole book) placed very early on as if to test the resolve and patience of the reader. Some stories were good, some bad. Should appeal to fans of SF who would like to take a break from the m... moreodern cyberpunk and high-tech SF and hark back to the classics of the 50s and 60s from the past masters. less
