Some great short 80s scifi stories in this book. Of course George RR Martin's 'Sandkings' is in this book, it seems to be a requirement for anthologies of this era. One comment: this is an extremely cheaply made book. The typesetting is terrible, and there a quite a number of typos. Some great short 80s scifi stories in this book.
