"Here are the nine best new science fiction stories I could find in eight months of reading manuscripts"
- Damon Knight

In deep space a derelict ship spins through emptiness, a mysterious Mary Celeste of a future century...

Lovemaking on a cold moon of Saturn - Swedish-style!

On a distant planet Earth colonists refuse to come home...

A love affair with a beautiful alien, and its curious memento - a basket of unhatched eggs!

Evolution goes into reverse in the inhabited ocean of the future
