Review of The Gryb (1976)
A. E. van Vogt (writer), E. Mayne Hull (writer).
A Van Vogt anthology, similar to The Proxy Intelligence and Other Mind Benders (1971). The difference is that The Gryb replaces the short story “The Proxy Intelligence” with “Humans, Go Home” (1969). Unfortunately, it fails to include an explanatory sidebar from the Galaxy magazine publication of “Humans, Go Home”. Other stories in this collection are:
- “The Gryb” (first published in 1940, as “Repetition”).
- “The Problem Professor” (1949, as “Project – Spaceship”).
- “The Invisibility Gambit (1943, as “Abdication”) with Hull, Vogt’s spouse.
- “Rebirth: Earth” (1942, as “The Flight That Failed”) also with Hull.
- “The Star-Saint” (1951).
