Description: From the pages of If, Fantasy and Science Fiction, and Analog magazines, nine memorable tales by Gordon R. Dickson: Ancient, My Enemy: An arresting tale of love and loss involving a space age prospector who suddenly comes face to face with the deadliest alien of all—himself. The Odd Ones: A saga of two “philosophical engineers” whose job it is to balance the survival techniques of every creature on a planet—and their first encounter with Earthlings. The Monkey Wrench: In which a perfect machine that insists on being logical at all times becomes the perfect sucker—with ironically grim results. Tiger Green: A nightmare story of visitors from earth stranded on a planet whose inhabitants love them enough to free them from their lives! The Friendly Man: He was very friendly—he’d waited a long time to see the man out of time—but his whole purpose was one he’d never realize. Love Me True: In this deceptive chiller a young space pioneer becomes the unwitting victim of an insidious weapon whose strength lies in its ability to make its victims love it. Our First Death: A poignantly human story of a space colony of the uprooted and unprepared, working out of their obscure destiny in a world somehow more recognizable than the realms of interstellar heroes. In the Bone: A parable of men and machines and the terrible danger of confusing a creation and its creator. The Bleak and Barren Land: Where exiles from an overcrowded world struggle to establish a small part of the Earth they once knew—and would never know again.
