A. Bertram Chandler is a Master Mariner, a ship's captain - and a very good writer indeed. If there is a nautical feel to his stories, and perhaps a tinge of salt spray in his spaceship's atmosphere, this is to be expected - and enjoyed. Readers since his first story appeared in Astounding in 1944, have enjoyed the colour and adventure of his sagas of the spaceways. But too little attention has been taken of Chandler, the man with a sense of humor. This lapse can be remedied right now...
