Sean Randall reviewed One Step from Earth by Harry Harrison
Review of 'One Step from Earth' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Harrison is an odd one - some of his stuff I enjoy to the point of missing it when it's not there and the rest is so humdrum to me that it may as well not be there at all. But He's given me many an interesting yarn over the years, so I can't complain.
Some of the stories in this volume worked better than others, I'd say. though the theme of matter transmission is an interesting one, the angles of approach were sometimes a little too wide for me to enjoy without the action-packed, fast-paced stories I've come to expect from my shorter volumes.
the ones I liked best were Pressure, Waiting Place, From Fanaticism or for Reward, and perhaps joint favourite with pressure, heavy Duty (just because of the twist).
