PimPage: An Occasional Feature in Which I Call Interesting Books to Your Attention

Amazon.com: THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION OF SCIENCE FICTION STORIES BY JAMES REASONER eBook: James Reasoner: Kindle Store: This collection brings together all of legendary author James Reasoner's science fiction stories together in one place, including two never before published. Set on Earth, the Moon, and distant planets, these stories range from the retro hardboiled private eye yarn "Terran Girls Make Wonderful Wives" to the Western-influenced "The Border Shift". Set on a hardscrabble mining planet, the melancholy "Bugeyes", which one reviewer referred to it as a cross between Robert Heinlein and Ray Bradbury, explores the relationship between humans and aliens, while "Season of Storms" and the title story take place on near-future Earths that have dangers and challenges all their own. These five novellas and novelettes add up to 50,000 words of science fiction adventure!

Brilliant...you guys are going to pull me into this century and an eReader of some sort yet. (I'm curious as to where the non-originals were first published.)

Todd,
"Bugeyes" was in SPACE & TIME, "Season of Storms" was in JUST PULP, and "Terran Girls Make Wonderful Wives" was published as half of a Gryphon Double by Gary Lovisi (an edition that's still in print, I believe).

Thanks! SPACE AND TIME is too often overlooked...particularly as the third oldest extant sf magazine...
