Until the 1960s, many pulp magazines were published each month. Unfortunately, to the great disadvantage of science fiction as a short-story format, by 1977 the pulps were no longer published.This item is a collection of SF short stories by a master of the genre, John Jakes. These tales originally appeared in the pulp magazines, during the 1960s, and were eventually brought together and re-published as a book in 1977.
