A perfect book for those who have never read Sturgeon., Aug 22 2009
By Frederick Norwood "Rick Norwood" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Touch of Sturgeon: Stories (Ed by David Pringle) (Hardcover)
Today, Theodore Sturgeon is best known as the author of two episodes of the original Star Trek, "Shore Leave" and "Amok Time". In the latter, he created the basics of the Vulcan culture that have been used and expanded in all future Treks.
But he was also a great short story writer, as good as Harlan Ellison and Ray Bradbury. If you have not read any of his short stories, "A Touch of Sturgeon" is a great place to start.
On the other hand, if you have read Sturgeon, be aware that all of the stories in "A Touch of Sturgeon" have appeared in earlier collections, and most have been reprinted many times. If you already have the Sturgeon collections "Aliens 4", "E Pluribus Unicorn", "A Touch of Strange", "The Golden Helix", "The Stars are the Styx", and "Sturgeon is Alive and Well..." then you already have all of these stories.
Fans of Sturgeon will want the complete stories series, the most recent volume of which is "The Nail and the Oracle".
