Summary: Great later shorts by Robert Silverberg
Comment: Robert Silverberg is one of the best writers of SF -- ever. From 1968 or so to the mid-70's Silverberg probably had the best five year run of any SF writer in producing great work. Novels like Nightwings, Dying Inside, The Book of Skulls, and A Time of Changes, along with shorts from that period like "Good News from the Vatican"... Even Heinlein never had a straight run of great work in one five of six year period. Heck, the only similar run of great work in SF was happening almost at the same time in U.K. Le Guin's work. And this is not to leave folks like Ellison and Niven and resurent Fred Pohl's, Isaac Asimov's and Aurthur Clarke's out either. The late 60's and early 70's should really be considered the Golden Age of SF when we look back now. And it was Silverberg was was leading the pack then.
This book contains much of his good short story work from the 1980's and early 1990's. There is some good to almost great work still coming from the Typewriter/Word Processor of Silveberg. His shorts and novellas like "Mulipules", "Sailing to Byzantuim", "House of Bones" and "Enter a Soldier. Later:Enter another" are all of high caliber.
I orginally found this book in the library when I was going thru what I was catching up on SF. As soon as I have read it I wanted to own it. But I found it was out of print. We'll... It took a while, but I finally found it. And I have taken great care of it ever since.
I highly recommend this book, as well as anything else by Robert Silverberg.
