Overview: The last refuge of a sf anthologist: a collection dedicated to terra firma–but what a delightful collection! The piece de resistance is H. G. Wells’ flawless ""The Empire of the Ants."" More dated but still pleasurable: some cullings from the mid-Thirties’ Astounding. From the Golden Age: a neatly turned Robert Abernathy on the sinister armies in the backyard pond and Avram Davidson’s sly hypothesis about the secret biologies of lost safety pins and coat-hangers. The most recent contributions are Brian Aldiss’ very funny outbreak of ""time gas,"" one of R. A. Lafferty’s most glorious revenge-of-the-Indian fables, and Silverberg’s own razor-edged trifle about an oddly familiar society in search of bigger and better apocalypses. This young old pro can anthologize rings around practically anybody, including Saturn.
