Ben Bova
About this listen
In this new collection, Ben Bova has compiled 14 of his favorite short stories. Each story includes an all-new introduction with compelling insight into the narrative.
Exploring the boundaries of the genre, Bova not only writes of spaceships, aliens, and time travel in most of his titles, but also speculates on the beginnings of science fiction in “Scheherazade and the Storytellers,” as well as the morality of man in “The Angel’s Gift.” Stories such as “The Café Coup” and “We’ll Always Have Paris” dip into speculative historical fiction, asking questions about what would happen if someone could change history for the better. This expansive collection is a key addition for Bova fans and sci-fi lovers alike!
Stories included in this collection: “Monster Slayer,” “Muzhestvo,” “We’ll Always Have Paris,” “The Great Moon Hoax, or A Princess of Mars,” “Inspiration,” “Scheherazade and the Storytellers,” “The Supersonic Zeppelin,” “Mars Farts,” “The Man Who Hated Gravity,” “Sepulcher,” “The Café Coup,” “The Angel’s Gift,” “Waterbot,” and “Sam and the Flying Dutchman.”

I would say there were some issues with the editing, as some points it seems to jump between different recordings in a noticeable way. This was not major though.
Good collection

Most of the stories are very dated and mostly quite mediocre imho. I understand Ben Bova is quite some year ahead of me and that the book is ‘his favourites’ so shouldn’t be surprised.
What actually did surprise me was the “afterword 1491”, maybe disappointed me is a better choice of words, talking like the USA is the pinnacle of all that is right and good in the world, to the detriment of European “losers”, without mentioning that the americas weren’t exactly empty when your fine nation was discovered by us losers. I get what he was trying to say, but it was poorly executed from someone who should have a more eloquent way with words. It’s actually put me off reading or listening to any further Bova books. I think this was a free book, if it wasn’t it’s getting returned, a wasted credit.
Mediocre and dated.

A good sample of late 20th century Sci-Fi.
