This review is from: Skirmish: The Great Short Fiction of Clifford D.Simak (Mass Market Paperback)

Excellent science fiction stories.
Non-violent and pro-underdog. Imaginative, but with a lot of realism.
Short Stories: Huddling Place, Desertion, Skirmish, Good Night, Mr. James, The Sitters, The Big Front Yard, All the Traps of Earth The Thing in the Stone, The Autumn Land, The Ghost of a Model T.
Stories from 1944 to 1975.
A fun, relaxing read, as are all Clifford Simak's stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best short-story writers in Speculative Fiction!, Nov 26 1998

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Skirmish: The Great Short Fiction of Clifford D. Simak (Hardcover)

The Big Front Yard is the best (in my subjective opinion) SF short story ever! Skirmish is way up there, too! Mr. Simak is a great writer and describer of human idiosyncracies. He represents an alternative to "in-your-face" factoid reporting, to the less-than-subtle writers so prevalent in this day and age of laxity in education. For more in this vein, read Kornbluth's "The Marching Morons" and "The Space Merchants" -- more thoughtful Speculative Fiction (a/k/a SF) from one of the most thoughtful of authors. Luckily for us, Mr. Simak lived a long, full life; Mr. Kornbluth, however, left this world in his 30s, way before his time!
