Heinlein, including three that were never previously collected in book form. The title is a play on the astronomy concept off the main sequence, and refers to these stories not being part of Heinlein's Future History.

Review of 'Off the Main Sequence' on 'Goodreads'

Obviously, heinlein is just amazing. I've always, always loved Gulf. All you Zombies hit me a good one, as did Destination Moon and both the scout stories. Even By His Bootstraps, even though I'd recently re-read it in another collection, yet held my attention. I've also reread The Puppet Masters and Time For the Stars during my holiday, so a real good mix of new arrangements and old favourites. But this collection is great, some of the stranger stuff really makes one ponder.
