Editorial Review

Product Description
The Timeless Tales of Reginald Bretnor contains 15 of the author's best short stories, all previously published in national magazines between 1947 and the author's death in 1992. Several of these were republished in book anthologies, but this is the first collection of Bretnor short stories in one volume. These tales range from fantasy to mystery to soft science fiction. Most of them provide excellent examples of Bretnor's delightful sense of humor. They make for light and fun reading and will appeal to anyone who likes a good, old-fashioned, clever, well-told story which often leaves you with a smile on your face at the end. For this reason the book makes an excellent gift for any occasion. (But read it yourself first!) ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Love the book
I read this about 20 years ago and am very glad I found it.
I wish the author had written a sequel.
Would love to have seen how they did on Laurie's World and how the situation on the earth progressed

5-0 out of 5 stars An Old Fashioned Adventure in a New Kind of Space
The title of this review comes from the cover of Gilpin's Space.If there were a sequel to this book (and there could be one I'm unaware of), I'd snap it up in a second.I'm thrilled to have read this book, not that I understood everything it talked about, but it was a fun read with the expected twists and turns, and the ending is... well.. you read it and decide for yourself.I assure you, if you're a fan of Asimov, Sagan, Pohl, Simak, or any of the other greats who made scifi the serious genre it is today, you'll enjoy this book.

Bretnor utilizes hard science ideas and facts alongside ancient native wisdom, combined with a Utopian ideal for a potential human future.Unfortunately, it can't happen on dear old Terra Mater, but instead people of "higher," more humanistic ideals, must flee the planet while war-mongers and power-hungry madmen take over the world.But enough of the plot.Tightly written, engrossing, page-turning reading for me.Oh, a lot of psychology too, which really is my bag. :)

5-0 out of 5 stars The Future of War
I read this book, along with its two sequels, over 20 years ago and was greatly impressed by its scholarship.The stories selected all had a pertinent point to make about the future of war for man.This first volume dealt with future war on earth.It included stories such as "The Man in the Gray Weapons Suit (future air combat)," "A Scenario for the Fall of Night (A successful Soviet invasion of the US in the 1990s)" and "The Screwfly Solution (Alien invaders use a unique biological warfare solution to rid Earth of those pesky humans).Well developed and insightful in its day, and still a good read for those who like military science fiction. ...
