Re: The Return of the DAW Reviews! 1983

((James Nicoll):

As far as I can tell, I composed this but never posted it:

(T Guy):

Yes, I had wondered about this.

I thought 'any year now, JN will be getting up to some I bought when
they came out.

Then I am hit by this blockbuster:

(James):

519 Isaac Asimov & Martin H. Greenberg Isaac Asimov Presents
the Great SF Stories, 9 (1947)

(T Guy):

1947?

I have somehow missed vol.s 1 - 8, which, co-incidentally, are the
ones I own (I think; I would put money on the first six).

Introduction Isaac Asimov & Martin H. Greenberg

Little Lost Robot [Susan Calvin (Robot)] Isaac Asimov

Tomorrows Children Poul Anderson

Parents face tough choices in a radioactive post-war world.

Childs Play William Tenn

Time and Time Again H. Beam Piper

Tiny and the Monster Theodore Sturgeon

E for Effort T. L. Sherred

Letter to Ellen Chandler Davis

The Figure Edward Grendon

With Folded Hands... [Humanoids] Jack Williamson

Humans learns the downside of Asimov's First Law.

The Fires Within [as by E. G. OBrien] Arthur C. Clarke

Humans learn that they share the earth with another civilized
race. Matters do not procede entirely to our benefit.

Am I right in thinking several Clarke stories have people
sitting around digging through the papers of people who are no longer
around to talk to?

Zero Hour Ray Bradbury

Hobbyist Eric Frank Russell

Exit the Professor [Hogben] Lewis Padgett

Thunder and Roses Theodore Sturgeon

If I recall correctly, doomed Americans have the chance to
strike at the nation that killed the USA, at the cost of the entire
human race. Will they pick vengeance or forgive their killers in
the name of the greater good?

(T Guy):

Depends whether this is Science Fiction or Fantasy.

(James):

526 Alan Burt Akers Fires of Scorpio

Dray Prescott #29

(T Guy):

This is one of those things which is vaguely queueing up to be read.
In the sense of 'After I've finished those 182 Doc Savage novels, I
might think about going on to Dray Prescott.'


539 Gregory Kern The Galactiad

Kern is E.C. Tubb, this is Cap Kennedy #17 and although I have not
read it, I would bet that it is utter crap.

(T Guy):

So I shouldn't put Cap Kennedy in the queue after Doc and Dray?

And, come to think of it, what kind of name is 'Dray' anyway?

And is he related to John Prescott?

NB>: The current U. K. politician, not the characetr in VanVogt, it's
just occurred to me I should add in this forum.

542 Kenneth Bulmer The Diamond Contessa

Hey, this is the first Bulmer I ever read. Some people have the
ability to cross between parallel worlds. The Diamond Contessa is one
and she is very very naughty.

(T Guy):

I expect someone's beaten me to this snerk, but on the off-chance: oh,
I never realised Kenneth Bulmer wrote under his own name as well.

(James):

543 Isaac Asimov & Martin H. Greenberg Isaac Asimov Presents
the Great SF Stories, 10 (1948)

(T Guy):

It now occurs to me that I missed these later volumes by going off to
college (i. e. needing to conserve the mazouma and lack of
accessibility to a known source).


Introduction Isaac Asimov

Dont Look Now Henry Kuttner

He Walked Around the Horses [Paratime Police] H. Beam Piper

Fictional treatment of a historical mystery in which a British
diplomat disappeared in circumstances where he should not have been able
to.

The Strange Case of John Kingman Murray Leinster

I think this is about a very special patient.

That Only a Mother Judith Merril

The Monster A. E. van Vogt

Aliens use a resurecto beam to bring various humans back to
life, long after we have gone extinct. It works out a little less well
than in JURASSIC PARK.

Dreams Are Sacred Peter Phillips

Mars Is Heaven! Ray Bradbury

Thang Martin Gardner

Brooklyn Project William Tenn

The defense of the nation requires time travel! Hilarity ensues.

Ring Around the Redhead John D. MacDonald

Period Piece J. J. Coupling

Dormant A. E. van Vogt

(T Guy):

N. T. S. Look up that Wm. Tenn.
