This is a fairly well put together short story anthology. As usual the quality of each one varies, but I liked it a lot in general. Some really good ones in here, and it is such a short read there is really no reason not to try it.

I'll be dropping in and out of this over time so will update the reviews as they come. In total though, this is a fantastic collection of stories for a bargain price digitally. Well worth it.

I, Rocket by Ray Bradbury (24/9/15)
I'm a big fan of Bradbury's work and this is a wonderful example of his ability to meld science fiction with a dreamlike magical quality as we experience a dying Rocket recounting the relationship with the people who crewed her. Brief but touching and evocative.

Originally released in April 1961 and now ReReleased as the first in a series of collections from classic pulp Sci-fi magazine 'Amazing Stories', I enjoyed reading this anthology of "7 of the greatest SF stories ever written" as the blurb on the cover says.

From the Ray Bradbury penned 'I, Rocket' to the first Buck Rogers story 'Armageddon 2419 AD', it is a throwback to the days of the pulp Sci-fi magazines, and stories of visions of futures past.

I have read 'John Carter And The Giant Of Mars' by Edgar Rice Burroughs and 'Armageddon 2419 AD' by Philip F Nowlan before, so I knew what to expect from those. But with the others in this collection, I particularly enjoyed 'I, Rocket' by Ray Bradbury, about a rocket ship as told from the perspective of the rocket, 'Devolution' by Edmond Hamilton, with a kind of Lovecraftian tale of beings from another world. Eando Binder's 'I, Robot' is also a good read, a robotic take on the Frankenstein story.

If you like stories of fantastical Sci-fi, from the early works of classic Sci-fi authors, then you would do well to pick up and read this reissued anthology. Recommended.
