Book Synopsis
This is a twelve book/story set)
DEATHWORLD
Some planet in the galaxy must—by definition—be the toughest, meanest, nastiest of all. If Pyrrus wasn't it ... it was an awfully good approximation!PLANET OF THE DAMMED
Hugo nominated in 1962, originally published in Analog Science Fact-Science Fiction as "Sense of Obligation." Brion has just won the Twenties, a global competition to test achievements in 20 categories of human activities -- but before he can enjoy his victory he's forced to leave his homeworld to help salvage Dis, the most hellish planet in the galaxy.THE MISPLACED BATTLESHIP
It might seem a little careless to lose track of something as big as a battleship... but interstellar space is on a different scale of magnitude. But a misplaced battleship--in the wrong hands!--can be most dangerous.THE REPAIRMAN
Being an interstellar trouble shooter wouldn’t be so bad … if I could shoot the trouble!ARM OF THE LAW
At one time—this was before the Robot Restriction Laws—they'd even allowed them to make their own decisions....TOY SHOP
The gadget was strictly, beyond any question, a toy. Not a real, workable device. Except for the way it could work under a man's mental skin....THE ETHICAL ENGINEER
That mores is strictly a matter of local custom cannot be denied. But that ethics is pure opinion also...? Maybe there are times for murder, and theft and slavery....THE K-FACTOR
Speed never hurt anybody--it's the sudden stop at the end. It's not how much change that signals danger, but how fast it's changing....THE VELVET GLOVE
SF writer and editor Harry Harrison explores a not too distant future where robots—particularly specialist robots who don't know their place—have quite a rough time of it. True, the Robot Equality Act had been passed—but so what?
New York was a bad town for robots this year. In fact, all over the country it was bad for robots....
NAVY DAY
The Army had a new theme song: "Anything you can do, we can do better!" And they meant anything, including up-to-date hornpipes!SENSE OF OBLIGATION
It took a very special type of man for the job - and the job was onerous, dangerous, and the only really probable reward was disaster. But when a man who says he knows it's going to kill him asks you to join.... A sci-fi masterpiece by the immortal Harry Harrison!BRIDGE CROSSING
In 1849, the mist that sometimes rolled through the Golden Gate was
known as fog. In 2149, it had become far more frequent, and was known
as smog. By 2349, it was fog again.
