A collection of short stories by Ben Bova. I found them to be generally entertaining. Compared to the last couple of Anthologies that I've read, this one was a far more pleasant and satisfying read.

1. The Next Logical Step
2. A Slight Miscalculation
3. Blood of Tyrants
4. Zero Gee
5. Test in Orbit
6. Fifteen Miles
7. The Weathermakers
8. Men of Good Will
9. The Perfect Warrior
10. Stars, Won't You Hide Me?

I found the three Kinsman stories (4, 5, and 6) to be a little dated.

I enjoyed 10, both because of its brevity, and because I think it truly encompasses the American spirit. Optimism. Persistence. Willful Ignorance. And an overwhelming desire to scream "Fuck You" at the universe when you're beaten down.

I thought 9 was a little too long and the big reveal was kind of a let-down. ( )

A collection of stories published between 1962 and 1973. Bova was the editor of Analog magazine which was probably the top SF magazine at that time. ( )
