Rating: Summary: AMAZING!! Review: "The Lonely Songs of Laren Dorr" was stirring and wonderful and is representative of this book as a whole. There are some real gems here if you can find this book. "Greywater Station" will please any science fiction story enthusiast. The Runners is a dark and disturbing story...I too am afraid of this Fat, Disgusting, Smiling and terrifying girl who haunts the man no matter where he runs....Buy This Book if you can find it, Its expensive but worth every cent...
Rating: Summary: More of George's Xcellent early work Review: Another Xcellent collection of Martin's early short stories. "This Tower of Ashes" was George's choice 4 his best short story, 1nce upon a time; U may agree with him; it's very vivid & very moving. "The Lonely Songs of Laren Door" also has that wonderful, moody, romantic atmosphere of so much of George's early work. "Men of Graywater Station" (written with Howard Waldrop) is an above-average space thriller. "Night Shift" shows the flip-side of Martin's moody/romantic visions -- it's a very gritty, down-2-earth story about working on a future loading dock, comparing spaceships 2 long-distance trucking; definitely something different 4 George; U'll like it. "For a Single Yesterday" was also a personal favorite of George's, but 4 me it just misses; it Cms dry, nothing special. "And Seven Times Never Kill Man" is a routine space adventure. A couple others R merely average, nothing 2 get Xcited about. But the best stuff here is some of George's best work.
