Anthology without a Sector General story but every story was wonderful. Eight stories, one of which is almost novel length. Second Ending..last man on Earth and Earth's ending. Dogfight a battle computer with the brain of a dog and its love for the living. All of the stories made me want to reread them again instantly.

Returning to the original question, 'Where on Earth do you get those crazy ideas from?', it seems that in my case they come from unfulfilled ambitions, feelings of injustice, meeting a bedraggled dog or a beautiful girl, or from a friend with polluted pants. But the simple answer is that all of the ideas have a solidly terrestrial origin, and so the question answers itself. ("Introduction: Reality in Science Fiction")
