Struck in the head by a Pohl

Serious stories, stories of awe, fun stories. Frederick could write them all & this book has a great sampling. If U like old time Sci Fi, this should hook U on Mr. Pohl.

Great stories.

I really enjoyed these unusual stories by a very good writer, especially The Tunnel under the World. I will look out for more by him.

Superb speculative fiction by the great Fredrick Pohl.

These are some of the lesser known, yet still superb, works of the great speculative fiction author and editor Fredrick Pohl.

I've always enjoyed Fred Pohl's work. In this volume his story, "The Day of the Boomer Dukes" is a real standout.

Highly recommended.
