A master of science fiction examines what happens when powerful aliens meet puny humans–with results ranging from chilling to utterly hilarious. Getting along in the Universe can be tricky, but those monkey-boys and girls from Earth can get pretty feisty themselves when the situation calls for it. And if you bet on the side of the mighty alien armadas that have conquered half the galaxy, you might end up losing, as you’ve overlooked the winning human edge….
I hadn’t read any Dickson before so this was pretty interesting a selection. I think On Messenger Mountain was my favourite, though Brother Charlie was also very much to my taste.
