Review # 1 was written on 2020-09-26 00:00:00 Thomas Woodall Damon Knight's Orbit series was probably the most venerated of the many original anthology series that proliferated in 1970s. His goal was to present stories that were more literary or "New Wave" in nature, more focused on character and perhaps experimental in style, than the speculative stories that appeared in the digest magazines of the time. The highlights of this seventh volume included Continued on Next Rock by R.A. Lafferty, A Dream at Noonday by Gardner R. Dozois, and April Fool's Day Forever by Kate Wilhelm, (who happened to be Knight's wife). My favorite story in the book was The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories by Gene Wolfe.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-02-24 00:00:00 Alison Downes This was a collection of short stories, but none were good. I bought this at a thrift store to read on the cruise and left the book there.
