The Poul Anderson Short Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500514808)

Anderson is probably best known for adventure stories in which larger-than-life characters succeed gleefully or fail heroically. His characters were nonetheless thoughtful, often introspective, and well developed. His plot lines frequently involved the application of social and political issues in a speculative manner appropriate to the science fiction genre. He also wrote some quieter works, generally of shorter length, which appeared more often during the latter part of his career. Much of his science fiction is thoroughly grounded in science (with the addition of unscientific but standard speculations such as faster-than-light travel). A specialty was imagining scientifically plausible non-Earthlike planets. This edition has Poul Anderson's following stories; THE CHAPTER ENDs INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION duel on SYRTIS The Sensitive Man SECURITY THE VALOR OF CAPPEN VARRA SENTIMENT, Inc.
