Summary: A Good Collection of Shorts
Review: Having previously read the two best stories in this collection ("Rescue Party", a masterpiece and Clarke's first published story, and "Jupiter Five", a believable exploration of Jupiter's closest moon) I did not like this book as much as I would have if I had not read those two masterpieces. If I hadn't I would certainly have given this book a 5 star rating. Anyways...There are other good stories here too, of course. "Technical Error", "The Fires Within" and "The Possessed" are standouts, among others. In fact, there are a wide variety of SF styles in this collection. But it's the two stories I mentioned that are the centerpieces of this book. If you haven't read any of the short stories in this book then rack my rating up a star.

Summary: A great collection of short stories
Review: If you are looking for a good introduction to the works of Arthur C. Clarke, start here. These stories sometimes funny, sometimes scary, but always thought-provoking.

Summary: Solid Collection of Clarke's Short Stories
Review: Some are funny--"Trouble with the Natives"--some are scary--"A Walk in the Dark"--some are creepy--"The Parasite"--but all are good. This collection of 12 stories, which came out in 1956, shows why Clarke is one of the top writers of science fiction.
