*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: a mixed bag of vintage science fiction this week. Isaac Asimov’s Space Ranger is an early novel by him, the first in the space opera series of that name; Pat Frank’s Alas, Babylon is a post-apocalyptic tale, originally from 1959; the award-winning Joe Haldeman is represented by Mindbridge, a novel of monstrous alien encounter and Frank Herbert’s The Dosadi Experiment is a stunning evocation of alien culture.
