Beschreibung
Two classic short stories from The Golden Age of Science Fiction by James Stamers. Featured here: "e;The Useless Bugbreeders"e; and "e;The Divers"e;. Excerpt from "e;The Useless Bugbreeders"e;: "e;The previous case was a Weeper, and he lost. So the Space Zoning Commissioners were damp and irritable before I opened pleadings for my client. I tried not to squelch as I approached the bench. "e;Not the Flammables again, Mr. Jones?"e; the fat Commissioner asked nastily, sponging his suit with a sodden handkerchief. "e;This was last week, Your Honor."e; The thin dark Commissioner stared pointedly at the charred end of the bench nearest the witness seat. "e;Indeed it was, Mr. Jones."e; The middle Commissioner poised his fingers and looked at the court ceiling; moisture gleamed diamond like on his bald head. "e;Now let me see,"e; he intoned. "e;Correct me if I err, Mr. Jones, but I seem to observe you have a habit of representing somewhat spectacular aliens. Including, in the past six months alone, the Drillers, Whirling Tombs, Fragile Glasses, Erupters, Vibrational Men, Transparent Women-and of course let us not forget the Flammables."e;
