Reception

[edit]

Floyd C. Gale wrote that "too many [trick endings] are more than enough", but that there were "several superlative items", citing the "Venture to the Moon" and "The Other Side of the Sky" story headings.[2] He described the paperback edition as "A double dozen of Clarke's best short-shorts, all tricky".[3] Damon Knight, although dismissing the vignettes as "without exception remarkably trivial," reported that the other stories "include some of Clarke's best work."[4]
