Three rather different stories of early SF, but all with charm and a level of adventure. The Wyndham story `Exiles On Asperus` is dated in the way it treats the asteroids, though it`s depiction of interplanetary travel is fairly timeless and realistic; The aliens of Asperus are what Hienlien once described as `Beings who have worked around or grown beyond the need for patty-paws`, they are sentient but have no real hands. However, they use their intellect to use Humanity`s greatest strength to place a yoke upon the shipwrecked `exiles` of the title; Human adapatability is turned against them. The strongest story ideas-wise.
The Leinster tale `The Mole Pirate` utilises a very common trope; Making people and objects immaterial, capable of passing through other matter. Unlike other stories of this ilk, even the most modern, Leinster works within set rules as to how this operates, how to avoid the obvious flaws and also how to work those flaws to defeat a threat using the technology. Technical yet entertaining.
Finally, though the idea of an inhabited Luna is long since been debunked, the Williamson story `The Moon Era` is a tale of adventure and beauty that transcends such considerations and instead takes the reader on an adventure on another world seperated by times from our own rather than space. Early Williamson is not as rigourous in science, but perhaps it makes up for it in lyrical effect.
