The next book in the science fiction library brings together works by prominent representatives of American science fiction literature, whose work is well known in the USSR. The theme of the novel “Transfer Station,” like most of Simak’s works, is contact with representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations. Simak is convinced that the mutual desire for peace and good neighborly relations will help earthlings and aliens achieve mutual understanding and live in friendship. Robert Sheckley is one of the most witty storytellers in modern American fiction. The writer's novel and stories reflect Sheckley's social sensitivity to the painful problems of life in modern America. The writer creates the image of a simple American who, at first glance, does not have any special merits, but who nevertheless resolutely rebels against the morality of the “permissive society.” Contents: * Clifford Simak.
