kittiwakeWhen the restless ones, the wild-eyed spacers were gone, the addicts got religion and the federalists became placid anarchists and the Parliaments voted themselves out of existence. There was peace on the third planet of 27 Lambda Serpentis, and good will among the inhabitants thereof. They made love and studied sociology under a friendly sun, under a pleasant blue sky forever. From "The Big Hunger".
Nine science fiction stories by the author of one of my favourite books "A Canticle for Leibowitz", and he was just as good at short fiction. I bought this book recently from a used book store, and was irritated to find that five of these stories are also found in "The Darfsteller and other Stories" which I already own, and that I had read nearly all of the stories before. My favourites are "You Triflin' Skunk!"," Big Joe and the Nth Generation" and "The Big Hunger".
