mjfmjfmjf's review against another edition
4.0
Continuing the re-read. I didn't like Menace from Earth that much. Aliens. Fantastic Four knock-off. The ideas were fine. The Samaritan story was fine. The Steeljack story was still the standout. I don't know how I didn't notice how many of these stories are old people stories though. 3.5 of 5.
Another good solid book. Perhaps it reads a little old. But I'm old. Though to be fair, Menace from Earth (and yes I read that as a Heinlein reference), aims young. But as always its the details and the richness of the history and the environment. It's especially done well in SteelJack's story, even in flashback. A good example of why this series is worth reading.
