These are three imaginative science fiction stories by the great Gerald Vance. Monsoons of Death: A very nice blend of horror story and a study of true bravery on the planet Mars. A newly commissioned lieutenant finds out a lot about both! Larson's Luck: Vance takes us on a lighthearted jaunt into hot shot space ship pilots, piracy and the good part of breaking the rules. Vital Ingredient: Travel far into the future when the sport of boxing still has two muscled opponents battling it out in a ring, but they are simply puppets, every muscle, feint and jab controlled by ring side “managers”; ex fighters who have moved up. The story asks the question: is this how champions are made? And answers it of course in a most satisfying manner.
