First Time in Mass Market.   Humans--there's no understanding them, and no dealing with them either. Or even with their planet.       Pity the poor aliens, whose shape-changing ability should let them take over the planet Earth before the humans even know they're there--if it weren't for all that omnipresent pollution. Or consider another set of invaders, from a planet where the weather is always mild and the changing of the seasons is hardly noticeable. They land in force and their weapons are more powerful than those of the primitive humans--but they've never before had to deal with below-zero temperatures, flash floods or tornados--not to mention volcanoes. Then there were the aliens who noticed how belligerent humans were, and gave them the "gift" of TV-like devices which would show anything anywhere on Earth, which was sure to lead to war. Imagine how surprised the aliens were when the humans took the gadgets apart, improved them, and started spying on everything the aliens were up to, all over the galaxy.       Humans don't make sense, they don't fight fair, and they're making aliens throughout interstellar space think seriously about pulling up stakes and moving to another galaxy!… (mehr)

Pretty darn good collection of short stories about aliens.... ( )
  Cheryl_in_CC_NV | Jun 6, 2016 |
This is a collection of stories from pulp sci-fi mags of the late 50s and early 60s, with one, "The Underhandler", from 1990. The stories are clearly cold-war era and military-centric, in the sense of being about problems coordinating troop movements, supply problems, and understanding intelligence; interplanetary conflict as seen from upper middle management, as it were. There's some sardonic wit and twists, but the tales aren't meant to be outright funny for the most part. A couple of the stories are told via letters/reports that cross in the mail and they're humorous and interesting in their form. There might have been a couple of female characters mentioned, but it's otherwise all man's-man types working within their hierarchies. No groundbreaking concepts or deep ideas here, just diverting light reading that's also a good glimpse into the mindset of an earlier time. ( )
