This collection was an awesome, eclectic bit of classic science fiction. My favorite tale was by Andre Norton, featuring Stina and Bat (btw: it was the only tale featuring a woman as the protagonist). The ostrich-like Martian was probably my favorite character (Weinbaum did a great job of breaking down communication to its basic elements). Missing Link by Herbert was a very satisfying tale to end the collection with.

A great mix of stories; aliens, time travel, apocalyptic rehab; the narrators were awesome; several favorite authors were featured. However, nearly all the stories a) had zero females or b) the women were minimized or needed rescuing.
