All stories were original to the anthology except "And This Did Dante Do," originally published as "Dusk in the Electric Cities, And This Did Dante Do" in Florida Quarterly in 1967. and "Swastika!," originally published in Aldiss's Moment of Eclipse in 1970. "The Big Connection" appeared under the "Robin Scott" byline. "In The Pocket" appeared under Malzberg's "K. M. O'Donnell" pseudonym.[1][2]

"Jean Duprès" was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Short Story.[3]

Reception

James Blish reviewed the anthology favorably, saying "almost everything in the book is good; to my judgment, the standard is higher than it has been in any of the Orbit anthologies to date, and it's substantially longer, too."[4]
