The anthology brings together a variety of tales that span the vastness of the galaxy, presenting unique visions of future societies, alien encounters, and the complexities of space travel. Blish's stories are characterized by their scientific rigor, imaginative depth, and philosophical underpinnings. One notable story, "Common Time," delves into the disorienting effects of faster-than-light travel on human perception and time. Another, "A Work of Art," reflects on the essence of creativity and consciousness through the resurrection of a composer's mind in an alien body. Through these narratives, Blish examines the impact of technological and cosmic advancements on individual identity and societal norms. "Galactic Cluster" is a testament to Blish's ability to weave compelling tales that question and expand the boundaries of the known universe. ; 19 x 13 x 1.7 cms; 233 pages .
