Some of these stories are dated in various ways, such as the first one, 'Tomb Tapper', dealing with the recovery of a crashed Soviet rocket fighter that apparently just dropped a nuke on the east coast of America. I thought 'Tomb Tapper' was among the best of this collection as was 'A Work of Art' which was about the resurrection, in a way, of the composer Richard Strauss in the year 2161.
Although the subjects or story content may be dated, the writing approaches the subjects in a much more intelligent and thoughtful manner than one might expect from '50's science fiction. These are mostly "hard" science fiction tales, and several are loosely related. Overall I liked this collection, although there are a couple weaker stories mixed with the strong ones. ( )
