-A world without laws where the basest criminal activity flourishes unchecked in a dog-eat-dog society;
-When the crew of a submarine find themselves flung millions of years into the past the consequences are devastating;
-The minds of the entire population of a city are infected by the thoughts of a madman, and become insane themselves - and the contagion is spreading;
-Mankind is facing extinction by an alien race of mind-readers who can anticipate man's every counter attack.
Here is the first-ever collection of the greatest short stories of one of Britain's finest-ever SF writers - Philip E. High!
