Reception

Henry Moulder, characterizing the stories in the anthology as "fantastic gems from the golden age of science fiction and fantasy" and "in the ... vein of the legendary John Carter of Mars and Captain Future," writes "there is plenty here that makes this collection of rare and lesser-known tales from some of the greatest fiction writers of the early 20th century a worthy addition to your library."[5]
