This is a collection of related novelettes which tell of strange encounters between man and alien. It was praised when first published but I found it only mildly interesting.

Farmer has written many better stories. MY 5 star favorite is "To Your Scattered Bodies Go". It is the award willing first novel of the Riverworld series. ( )
