Review of Poul Anderson's Cold Victory, which is an out of print collection of short stories about the Psychotechnic League published in the 1950s.

Recommended retro hard sci-fi.

When he was good Poul Anderson was very, very good

Thanks for the post – on the "must buy" list

Nice succinct review, Blake.

Yeah, Frederick, Poul Anderson is either very good or a waste of words on paper. Very inconsistent.

Been picking up the out of print books on Kindle which is great. Poul Anderson's Cold Victory is not yet on Kindle but the used paperback is on sale a Amazon.

Only problem with Kindle is that for out of print books, the Kindle version cost as much as a new paperback where the used paperback is a fraction of the cost.
