But we think you'll agree that Miss Smith's filly has something special. Incubus won every race but one. Yet though in this respect she matched Man o' War's record she wasn't actually a horse at all....

This was no place for these aliens. It was no place for anyone not resigned to life such as they all knew it. . . . Evelyn E. Smith has that rare ability-surprisingly rare, actually, in SF-to set herself into the minds of the aliens, or the alien life-forms, about whom she writes. The result is intelligent and challenging SF, instead of badly disguised Westerns!

The idol was shaped like a handsome young man. The surface had a curious texture, as if skin rather than stone. There is a deceptive simplicity to this story about a rather forceful woman explorer ( immensely practical, too) who goes to Grimalkin prepared for anything, including an attack on her life, but not for what does happen!

There was something subtly different about them. Old Mrs. Danko sensed this, and muttered about the evil eye. A number of people have suggested that extra-terrestrials live among us.
