This book goes deep into Leiber's underrated science fiction oeuvre t's a comprehensive, page-turning cache that captures Leiber's thoroughly original style, altogether mystical, beautiful, and sometimes disturbing. “The Foxholes of Mars” is a literary assault: a frightening, nitro-fueled tale of war on Mars, with one soldier questioning the futility and purpose of the battle against bug-eyed aliens, a distant mirror-image of our own times. “Space-Time for Springers” is told through the glaring eyes of Gummitch, a cat who happens to possess a genius IQ and a voracious appetite for scientific knowledge. “Night Passage” takes us on a dark journey into a Las Vegas where Earthlings and extra-terrestrials mingle and gamble, and where one man takes a moonlit ride with a mystery woman from Mercury, tailed by some very scary pursuers. “The Mutant's Brother” is a malevolent mix of horror and SF, a tale of identical twins who each carry a frightful chromosome One of them is also a monstrous serial killer.

He literally chilling “A Pail of Air” takes place in an underground nest, where a family fights to survive in a sunless, moonless, post-apocalyptic world where even helium and carbon dioxide become crawling, shapeless threats Fritz Leiber was a storyteller and prophet for the ages is work will never be dated or irrelevant.
