Описание:
Антология содержит 10 повестей яркого периода американской научной фантастики, называемого "Золотым веком НФ". Наибольшее влияние на наступление Золотого века оказал Джон У. Кэмпбелл, ставший легендой в жанре как редактор и издатель многих журналов научной фантастики, в том числе "Astounding Science Fiction". Под редакцией Кэмпбелла в научной фантастике стало больше реализма и психологической глубины в характерах персонажей, чем до этого было в "супернаучную" эпоху Гернсбека. Авторский фокус сместился с механизма на человека, использующего этот механизм. Большинство фанов считают, что Золотой век начался около 1938—39; в июле 1939 года вышел номер "Astounding Science Fiction", содержащий первые опубликованные рассказы Айзека Азимова и Альфреда ван Вогта, и эту дату часто приводят в качестве точного начала Золотого века.

Five-Way Corpse
It started out like a simple case of murder. That was bad enough in itself, because it was the first murder during the five years Rod Caquer had been Lieutenant of Police in Sector Three of Callisto.
Sector Three was proud of that record, or had been until the record became a dead duck.
But before the thing was over, nobody would have been happier than Rod Caquer if it had stayed a simple case of murder – without cosmic repercussions.
Events began to happen when Rod Caquer’s buzzer made him look up at the visiscreen.
There he saw the image of Barr Maxon, Regent of Sector Three.
“Morning, Regent,” Caquer said pleasantly. “Nice speech you made last night on the—”
Maxon cut him short. “Thanks, Caquer,” he said. “You know Willem Deem?”
“The book-and-reel shop proprietor? Yes, slightly.”
“He’s dead,” announced Maxon. “It seems to be murder. You better go there.”
His image clicked off the screen before Caquer could ask any questions. But the questions could wait anyway. He was already on his feet and buckling on his short sword.
Murder on Callisto? It did not seem possible, but if it had really happened he should get there quickly. Very quickly, if he was to have time for a look at the body before they took it to the incinerator.
On Callisto, bodies are never held for more than an hour after death because of the hylra spores which, in minute quantity, are always present in the thinnish atmosphere. They are harmless, of course, to live tissue, but they tremendously accelerate the rate of putrefaction in dead animal matter of any sort.
Dr. Skidder, the Medico-in-Chief, was coming out the front door of the book-and-reel shop when Lieutenant Caquer arrived there, breathless.
The medico jerked a thumb back over his shoulder. “Better hurry if you want a look,” he said to Caquer. “They’re taking it out the back way. But I’ve examined—”
Caquer ran on past him and caught the white-uniformed utility men at the back door of the shop.
“Hi, boys, let me take a look,” Caquer cried as he peeled back the sheet that covered the thing on the stretcher.
It made him feel a bit sickish, but there was not any doubt of the identity of the corpse or the cause of death. He had hoped against hope that it would turn out to have been an accidental death after all. But the skull had been cleaved down to the eyebrows – a blow struck by a strong man with a heavy sword.
