Eight of these nine stories were published between 1951 and 1955, years when Jack Vance wrote for the pulp magazines. Even in this early work, the voice of the future SFWA Grandmaster may be heard.

Jean Parlier is the first of Vance's strong female protagonists. Captivatingly amoral, Jean seeks her fortune in Abercrombie Station, providing a gravity-free paradise for the obese. In Cholwell's Chickens, she sets out (like Madouc, nearly 40 years later) to find her pedigree.
