Reviews

[Min]

This is a collection of shorts by Dickson: In Iron Years, Homecoming,
A Taste of Tenure, The Hours are Good, Gifts, Zeepsday, and Things Which Are Caesar's. Somewhat dated now, but still interesting. I rather liked the title story, but I think Gifts is the story that stayed with me the longest. An interesting piece about ethics and charity and an ordinary man's decision for the world.

One the Dickson books I didn't get into

about half of the stories were pretty good but the others were meh. Homecoming was a short but very wholesome story
