Reviews

[James Pilchak · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this along time ago, along with This is the Year Zero by the same author, so I can't get into too much detail. Well, not any really. All I can say is I remember enjoying them at the time, and that some of the stories pop into my head every once in a while. That means something right?

[Brian Gaston · Rating 4 out of 5]

Weiner was a hidden treasure of Canadian science fiction short stories publishing in the major magazines of the day. This is a good selection of what he did.

[Earl Truss · Rating 4 out of 5]

I did not realize this was by a single author when I got it. All the stories were enjoyable.
