" These stories were fairly well written. But they did not leave much of an impression. I think it would take a lot for me to not hate this author for Dianetics. "
— Ryan, 2/11/2012" Ugh. Formula and boring. I bailed after two stories. I just wasn't feeling it. This feels like a cheat as I didn't finish the book. I'll just read another one to meet the goal for the year. "
— Mark, 11/16/2011" A very nicely-produced and attractive volume which contains a handful of Hubbard's less-known early sf short stories. I suspect that none of them would have ever been reprinted had they not been written by Hubbard, but they were nostalgic fun for the most part. "

— Shelley, 5/25/2010L. Ron Hubbard (1911–1986), with nineteen New York Times bestsellers and more than 230 million copies of his works in circulation, was among the most acclaimed and widely read authors of the twentieth century. As a leading light of American pulp fiction through the 1930s and 1940s, he was further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to him.
