"The Lysenko Maze" appeared under the "David Grinnell" pseudonym. "Experimental Station" was originally published as "The First".[2]

J. Francis McComas, writing in The New York Times, found the volume to be less successful than Conklin's four previous theme anthologies, because the chosen theme was "too narrow," but praised Conklin's story notes as "entertaining and effective."[3]
