Fix-up stories

[edit]

Seetee Ship is a fix-up of the second and third Seetee stories, but (at least according to the Lancer paperback edition I have seen) it doesn't include the first story, "Collision Orbit" (which was also the first appearance of the word "terraforming"). I fear Mr. Contento, God bless his bibliographic heart, is mistaken on this point.

The book's plot differs considerably from the magazine version, particularly in incorporating the speculation that time would run backwards in the neighborhood of a contraterrene object. Beamjockey (talk) 01:51, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. The ISFDB listing says it's a fix-up of Collision Orbit (1942), Minus Sign (1942), and Opposites-React! (1943). I don't have access to the originals, so I can't verify that. Michael-Zero (talk) 19:16, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
