I couldn't get past the use of "man/girl" in the text instead of "man/woman." There's no excuse in this day for using these words. It makes me feel like writing a short story using "boy/woman." ( ) A book of very varied science fiction stories, notwithstanding the fact that three of them had very similar titles: 'The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories', 'The Death of Dr. Island', and 'The Doctor of Death Island'. I like the fact that the stories tended not to be tied up neatly at the end, since all the unsolved mysteries gives you more to think about and means that the stories aren't instantly forgettable. My favourites were "The Death of Doctor Island", "Hour of Trust" and "Tracking Song", and "Seven American Nights" was the only story in the book that I had read before.
