adventurous mysterious reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No

I just don’t have the time to give this book the attention it deserves right now

I'm really happy that Singularity&Co chose this book to convert to an eBook and send to their subscribers. I was expecting classic SF stories that read like classic SF stories: dated science, dated tone, a story that felt stale because I've seen so many of its descendants and imitators. None of that was true about this book.

All of these stories felt timeless, in the best sense. They dealt less with technology and more with people. In fact, I had to check the original publication date a couple of times. These stories feel so fresh and relevant that it's hard to believe they were originally written 60 years ago.

This is my first exposure to Ms. Moore's writing. It won't be my last. I'm already looking forward to purchasing [b:Northwest Smith|941224|Northwest Smith|C.L. Moore|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1317078181s/941224.jpg|926172] and [b:Doomsday Morning|12414222|Doomsday Morning|C.L. Moore|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1314072256s/12414222.jpg|1477804] from Singularity&Co.

Highly recommended.
