sfian's review
3.0
A curiosity that only sits in my collection because I bought Technos to help complete the Dumarest Saga and the only format I could get it in was this Ace Double. Arguably I should have listed it as one book.
Ten short stories, all older than me, which are entertaining rather than thrilling. I would suggest they are all very much of their time, but I'm no scholar qualified to justify that. A mix of SF and fantasy/horror (the latter in its lightest sense), with some neat twist endings included.
The Bells Of Archeron - do the dead live again in the sounds of a far away planet?
Anne - a wounded spaceship pilot gets an unusual vision. My least favourite in the book.
Return Visit - man summons demon, what happens next? Amusing.
The Shrine - members of a fractured humanity visit a mysterious shrine. I didn't get this one.
Survival Demands - the consequence of what happens when Man finds aliens
Little Girl Lost - a scientist is grieving the death of his daughter. Can he be helped?
The Eyes if Silence - a criminal is sent to a remote space station, but why?
Enchanter's Encounter - is magic real?
