ppint. 24th May 2018		Review this original anthology series was touted by roger elwood as being set to take over the mantle of frederik pohl's "star sf" (and e. j. carnell's "new writings in sf", which saw some merkin availability via bantam books' mmpbs) and to run indefinitely; the reality, as with most of elwood's mid-seventies' sf anthology "bubble", was rather different. . . ...but this quartet is still worth investigating: nearly all the authors are good, most are distinctive - they write, or wrote, in uniquely their own voice(s) - and some of these are classics - "minor gems" - more easily and cheaply obtained by picking up all four "continua", rather than searching for e.g. edgar pangborn's "still i persist in wondering" (1978), q.v. - which, though wonderful, as well as full of wonder, is getting rather rare, and consequently a little pricey.° the anne mccaffrey novellas were later rewritten into two books of her "killashandra" trilogy, mostly the first, q.v., but in substantially different form - and with a very different, and iynshs's o, far better, ending: one that is fitting to killashandra's story and her development. ° - the pangborn stories are set in the world of "davy" (1964), q.v. and "the judgement of eve" (1966), q.v., which ought to be enough to make any lover of fine sf who's not read them salivate, at least mentally. . .
