One of Our Asteroids is Missing - It started as an interesting David and Goliath story, between an independent asteroid miner and a huge conglomerate, but sadly peters out when the motivation behind the bad guys is revealed. It's bad hokey 60s sci-fi. Calvin M. Knox is a pseudonym for Robert Silverberg. I don't blame him for not having his name on this.
The Twisted Men - This is made up of three shorter stories, two dealing with colonizing other planets (The Twisted Men & The Star Saint), and once about a nuclear War destroying America (The Earth Killers). None of these stories have aged very well.
