The author himself chose his best stories for this collection. Since they are arranged chronologically, the first volume contains seven stories from the early part of his career, all written in the 1940s.
My least favourite story was the first, and I almost didn't bother reading the rest. Luckily they turned out to be much more to my taste, from "The Weapon Shops" which suddenly swerves off in an entirely unexpected direction, to the metal bar from nowhere that changes the world in "Juggernaut", and finishing with an unnerving tale of how the intelligence, speed of reaction and utter ruthlessness of man could prove a danger to alien civilisations throughout the galaxy even after a nucleonic storm has destroyed the whole human race and all other animal life on earth.
