A collection of ten SF&F stories, written by the author between 1952 ("Machine") and 1973 (the 17-page opening section of his novel "On Wheels"). In addition, it contains "Political Machine", "The Sellers of the Dream", "The Highest Form of Life", "One Race Show", "Love is a Punch in the Nose", "There's No Vinism Like Chauvinism", "Recidivism Preferred", "Here is Thy Sting", and a John Jakes Bibliography of his SF&F publications, 1951 - 1974. I for one had not known that Jakes had written SF&F and given the dates of his publications, he was an original and entertaining writer.
