Drawn from the leading pulp magazines of the 1950s — Galaxy, Amazing Science Fiction Stories, and Fantastic Universe — these eight groundbreaking selections offer spellbinding science-fiction tales of encounters with Martians and other extraterrestrials. ''Youth,'' by Isaac Asimov, recounts two friends' discovery of a pair of strange little animals the morning after mysterious thunder without a storm. Philip José Farmer's ''Rastignac the Devil'' tells of a fight against despotism 300 years in the future, and in ''Year of the Big Thaw,'' by Marion Zimmer Bradley, a Connecticut farmer explains why he doesn't know the actual birthplace of his phenomenally gifted son.
Other selections include ''Warrior Race,'' by Robert Sheckley, which focuses on breaking an enemy's spirit; ''Alien Offer,'' by Al Sevcik, concerning a risky chance to save Earth's children; Clifford D. Simak's ''The World That Couldn't Be,'' in which a farmer must hunt down the unusual creatures destroying his crops; ''Earthmen Bearing Gifts,'' by Fredric Brown, telling of an attempted exchange by the red and blue planets; and Stanley G. Weinbaum's ''A Martian Odyssey,'' a tale that changed the course of science fiction.
