I was truly and deeply enamored with the collection of short stories that served as a tribute to Jack Williamson. So much so that I simply couldn't contain my excitement and couldn't wait to explore some of Williamson's own work. This particular book was my very first venture into his literary world, but alas, it turned out to be a tremendous struggle.To be honest, this book really meandered aimlessly. There were three stories unfolding simultaneously, yet none of them managed to take a firm hold and capture my interest. At times, it felt as if Williamson himself wasn't entirely certain which story to focus on, resulting in a rather disjointed reading experience.I do take note that this book was written near the latter part of his life. However, I'm willing to give his work the benefit of the doubt. I plan to read some more of his early works from the beginning of his career. I hope that those will offer a different and more engaging perspective.All in all, based on this initial experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend this book. It failed to meet my expectations and left me somewhat disappointed.
