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.

Interesting take on "I think therefor I am", or "Mind over matter". The story ends well, but is so short it feels more like a thought experiment then a real story.

This has pretty much every thing you'd want in a pulp hero story, ray guns, death rays, fist fights, and don't forget about the girl.... This will go back on my list of things to re-read.

I might actually be able to finish this story today.
This actually is a pretty quick read, it's just the free time hasn't been my friend recently.
So far, and I'm almost done, this really is great Pulp Fiction, reminding me of Flash Gordon, or Buck Rogers, or Commando Cody (Radar Men from the Moon). Lots of fist fights, laser blasts, and death rays. It's a great story, that I wish I could have read in one sitting. This will be on my re-read list for sure.

Content warning Comments that could be a spoiler
From the first few pages I knew what the "twist" would be.... I was right, but there was a second "twist" I didn't see until almost the end of the book - granted the second twist was introduced late in the story. This is actually a really good short story thou, even if it was predictable. It almost has a original Twilight Zone feel too it, or maybe a Starship Troopers feel (if everyone was humanoid). It's not hard to spot the so called "twists", which I think makes it part of the charm of the story. It's a pretty fast read, so If you have a few free minutes, like Twilight Zone style twists - I say give this a read.
