I enjoy science fiction works, and some detective stories. Mostly short stories, and mostly works that have entered into the public domain. Don't have a lot of time to read which I'm hoping will change in this new year.

I wasn't too sure about this story when I started it. But it turned out to be a pretty good story. And even thou I said I started reading this days ago. I really didn't sit down and read it until now. It's a fast read, lots of interesting ideas, and plots.
It reminded me a little (just a little) of Star Ship Troopers. Over all I'd give this a 3 out of 5, it's a good story that if you have 20 mins or so to read it - it is worth the read.

Love these old comics, brings me back to when I was a kid. These made me think a lot about sci-fi when I was young. Nice to re-read it, fun memories. Oh and a good quick read.

Interesting, kind of Twilight Zone or Outer Limits vibe to it.
Adaptations of the screenplays from the early episodes of the original Star Trek television series.
Finally finished this up. The last story was probably the best. What aired is still better, but I really did enjoy "The Conscience of the King" more then most of the other stories in the book.
For what this book is it's fine. Unfortunately each story in the book is just different enough from what aired to just make it weird.

Interesting story.
This story seems to be written in an older style English, but still is a fun short story. It's a bit predictable at times. But still probably worth reading if you have a little free time.

It's ok, but not great - and I kind of lost track of what was happening. But that maybe because of how long it took me to finish the story and not the story itself.
