Assignment 1: Find party responsible for murders by space virus. Assignment 2: Investigate 'accidental' deaths on orbital solar shield. Assignment 3: Apprehend criminal possessing short term time machine.Science fiction meets crime in this new anthology exploring one of the genre's most popular themes: mystery and detection. Pitching detectives against time paradoxes, alien intruders, AI gone bad and psychic mutation are ten stories embodying the exciting range of the sub-genre, rarely given the recognition it deserves in the literary sphere.With fascinating settings such as robot society, asteroid belt space stations and worlds similar to our own but uncannily altered, these stories are masterpieces of satisfying setups, memorable mysteries and timeless twists.

The editing seemed good, and I didn't notice any obvious typos or OCR-type errors. All the stories were readable, although of course written in different styles. Perhaps because the focus included mysteries as well as SF elements, they didn't strike me as quite as dated as other SF works from the period.
My favourite was "Legwork" by Eric Frank Russell, but then he's my favourite author out of this collection. On reading "Apple" by Anne McCaffrey, I found the characterisation much flatter than in her other stories. Perhaps too much emphasis on the mechanics of the mystery, as opposed to the people of the world?
This collection's currently on Kindle Unlimited, and worth checking out if you want to sample some authors writing outside the areas they're known for.
