Aliens for Neighbors (Short Story Collection)

A vinatge collection of
sci-fi stories by a master of the off-beat, packed with new ideas.
'Honourable opponent', an inter-galactic affair, suggests a new and
sensible way of waging war; 'Operation Stinky' introduces the beguiling,
purring, tail-waving skunk who is a mechanical genius; 'Dusty Zebra'
underlines the necessity for caution in inter-dimensional trading;
'Neighbour' gives the inside story of a valley and its people that just
disappeared from the map.
These are only samples from a collection of
stories rich in that engaging ingenuity which Simak's innumerable fans
know so well. And many of them also have those final, unexpected,
sometimes chilling twists in the tail that are another of his
specialities.
