EARTHMEN AND STRANGERS

by Robert -- Ed. Silverberg ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 1, 1966

Ten inventive variations on the old problem of First Contact, these include Eric Frank Russell's touching Dear Devil, where an unsightly but gentle poet arrives to help Earth's children after a nuclear holocaust; Randall Garrett's sprightly The Best Policy, in which a man beats an alien lie-detector by looking at the truth from a number of angles; Asimov's much reprinted The Gentle Vultures which offers an interesting speculation on UFO's, and Damon Knight's Stranger Station demonstrates the outcome when true love meets sheer hate. Some of the best.
