To Be Continued 1953-1958 - Robert Silverberg

3 1/2 stars

To Be Continued is a collection of short stories written by Robert Silverberg at the beginning of his career. Silverberg was a very prolific author who produced hundreds of stories for publication in the science fiction magazines of the 1950s. He made a good living doing so, but he admits that not all of his stories were high quality. In the first volume of the collection of his stories he includes those that he thought were worth preserving. I liked a lot of the stories in the book and a few I will probably even remember. The best part of the collection, for me, was the introduction of each story which included the history of that story, why it was written, where it was published, etc. It felt like I was reading the history of early science fiction and how to make a living writing during that time. If you have any interest in the golden age of science fiction, it is worth reading the collection of this prolific writer.
