A collection of five hard SF stories, connected through the Troon family. Unlike most Wyndham, the antagonist in these stories is man, from other nation states.

It is an interesting world he builds here. The "outward urge" to explore shackled by fellow man. I liked this foray into hard science.

The stories themselves are otherwise disconnected, and the fifth an afterthought, added to late editions. In goodreads parlance, the collection was just okay. Looking forward to better John Wyndham in the future.
