And, while I remembered the first story in the book -- The Saturn Game -- it wasn't an "old friend." I remembered reading it back when it came out in Analog, in 1982. I didn't like it very much then, and I still don't. But it won a Hugo and a Nebula, so what do I know?

The other stories included Nicholas van Rijn and David Falkayn and were a lot more fun.

Tomorrow's booked up, so I'm not sure what I'll be reading next.
