This is the second of John Carnell's scifi anthologies that I've read (the first being 1952's No Place Like Earth) and I can say it was every bit just as good as the first anthology, if not better. More focused on space-themes this time around we once again have short stories from Arthur C Clarke, John Wyndham, JT M'Intosh and several other popular writers.

Worth a look if you enjoy classic 1950s science fiction. There's a bit of everything here, exploration, space voyages, lonely outposts, men in black style alien police, castaway aliens, are amongst the variety of stories present. ( )
