Nightwings - Robert Silverberg (1969)

btw. A typo on my post above. It should say, "At a time when I couldn't afford a $.75 pb."
It's been a while.

Responding to CW. I know that I read Sailing To Byzantium, but as it is 38 years old, I can't remember my reaction.
Looking it up on Wikipedia, I see that it won the Nebula for best novella, Here's the Link.

Downward To The Earth is a fantastic novel. One of the great works of SF in that era (or any other era).
Finished it. Good, but not my favorite Silverberg. I am sure that CW and fans picked up on that it is a tribute to
Heart of Darkness in more ways than one. Naming a major character "Kurtz" would make it clear if it were not so otherwise.
 
So...after I posted my list, I thought I would check back on the Pulp Magazine Archive to see if any kind souls had uploaded more since I last downloaded some only-ever-published-in-magazine stories (a few years ago I realised). And I found another 32!

I really should sort them all out. I had plans to print them out and bind them in a book but that hasn't happened.
