About this listen
Needle in a Timestack is Robert Silverberg at his very best - intelligent, inventive, and visionary. This collection showcases his talent for thought-provoking science fiction, ranging in themes from time travel to space travel, the media to mortality.
In the titular story - under development as a feature film by Oscar-winning screenwriter John Ridley - a jealous ex-husband warps time in a vindictive attempt to destroy his former wife's new marriage. Thirty-one identical sons have a shocking surprise for their mother in "There Was an Old Woman". The prophetic "The Pain Peddlers" depicts reality TV in a way that allows viewers to revel in a voyeuristic, adrenaline-fueled rush. Also included are Silverberg's Hugo Award-winning "Enter a Soldier. Later: Enter Another", and the Locus Award winner "The Secret Sharer", a Joseph Conrad-inspired tale of a ship captain drawn into a strange alliance with a stowaway.

Excellent Collection, loved the introductions
All these stories are good, with several really great. My favourite was ‘Enter a soldier. Later: enter another.’
I loved the introduction to each story where the author gave context behind the writing of it.
For anyone who enjoyed the titular story, I would recommend checking out the movie. I’d say it manages to flesh out the idea even more.

Ego !!!
Some of the stories were okay but I have been a devotee of the great names , Bradbury , Clarke to name just two and read all the collections of the greatest Sci-fi so I wasn’t transfixed and won’t re-listen to any . The intros were strange though ; all authors should be proud of their work but each intro became a ‘ didn’t I do well ‘ spiel and ‘ nobody has got stories in one anthology’ . These self congratulatory intros are missing from the true greats of sci-Fi …………..
