3.0 out of 5 stars Nine stories in one book, 19 Jul 2005
By bookaholic - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
This is a compilation of stories from 1955 to 1968. Strangely enough, they don't seem dated. Most of them could have been written today. I enjoyed all of the stories. Perhaps 3 stars is a bit severe. 3.5 would be a more correct review from my side.

As with all of Schmitz's stories, these, too, are about the Hub. As the cover states, the Federation of the Hub consists of thousands of rough, ornery and tough-minded human worlds with only the subtlest of interstellar governments holding them all together. Stable at last after centuries of war, the Hub is now prime real estate, making it a merciless arena for the conflicting schemes of criminals, unscrupulous corparations and invaders from beyond the edges of Federation space.

But the Hub is well-defended, and not only by professional heroes such as Telzey Amberdon and Trigger Argee. In Hub Space a citizen is expected to stand up for herself, blaster in hand, as needs must; so when Trouble comes Hubward in large doses, there are an awful lot of armed citizens waiting for it.

Enjoy the book. I certainly did.
