Just finished "Hour of the Gremlins", by Gordon R. Dickson and Ben Bova, which I bought from Baen in 2002. This contains what would probably today be considered a long-ish short story (the title story, about Gremlins - leprechauns - who want to hitch a ride back to their own planet on a Mars rocket), a novella, "Hour of the Horde" (about a galactic civilisation visiting Earth to get the help of us "barbarians" in combatting an extra-galactic invasion fleet), and a short novel, "Wolfling (about an Earth ambassador to a 100,000-year-old human empire which has just rediscovered Earth as a long-lost colony world slipped back into barbarism). All good, although I enjoyed "Wolfling" most. Highly recommended.
