This is probably the best buy on Amazon for a reader of classic science fiction. H. Beam Piper foresees a human race with advanced technology and beginning to colonize planets throughout the galaxy. This collection of stories covers mankind's rise and fall of civilization and the exploration that takes place. They cover the rise and fall of the Federation and the Interstellar Wars.H. Beam Piper was a visionary and an excellent author. I enjoyed every page in this book. I should really say that this is 12 books into one. Not only are they well written and entertaining, they are illustrated. While I enjoyed all of the stories my favorites were Space Viking, Four-Day Planet, Uller Uprising, The Cosmic Computer and the best to me was Little Fuzzy.I own many of these books in the original paperback format but I purchased the Kindle version to reread them and I am glad that I did. These stories are outstanding and truly classic Sci-Fi. You will enjoy every page and for only $0.99 it is the best bargain book out there. You cannot pass up this book if you love Sci-Fi!
