Shortlisted for the 1961 Hugo Award, Rogue Moon is the disquieting
and story of what happens when monstrous scientific ambition is
matched by human obsession. The moon had finally been reached, and
on it was found the most terrifying structure, that killed men over
and over again, in torturous, unfathomable ways. Clearly, only a
mad man or a suicidal maniac could explore its horrible secrets.
All his life, Al Barker has toyed with death. So when the US lunar
programme needs a volunteer to penetrate a murderous labyrinth,
alien to all human comprehension, Barker's the man to do it. But
what is required of Barker is that he withstand the trauma of
dying, not just once, but time and time and time again ...
He was looking for a privacy his strange personality needed.
And-never quite seemed to achieve it. All his efforts were,
somehow-great triumphs of the race, and great failures for him!
Collected her are five fantastic stories by Algis Budrys, Frank
Herbert, Robert Sheckley, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., and Jamie Wild The
Stoker and the Stars When you've had your ears pinned back in a
bowknot, it's sometimes hard to remember that an intelligent people
has no respect for a whipped enemy ... but does for a fairly beaten
enemy. Missing Link The Romantics used to say that the eyes were
the windows of the Soul. A good Alien Xenologist might not put it
quite so poetically ... but he can, if he's sharp, read a lot in
the look of an eye! Bad Medicine Elwood Caswell walked rapidly down
Broadway with a loaded revolver hidden in his coat pocket. He
didn't want to use the weapon, but feared he might anyhow. This was
a justifiable assumption, for Caswell was a homicidal maniac. BR02B

the same way!
