By the ending I mean the last line... the "And the spaceship was sent adrift, never again to be used for a lesser purpose". I still get shivers every time I hear it.

[/ QUOTE ] It's an excellent story, yes. You can find and read the other two in just a few minutes. Google them - you'll be glad you did. Then post a trip report (no spoilers, though)!

[ QUOTE ] Sandkings - George RR Martin I Am Legend - Richard Matheson [/ QUOTE ] Yah see, this is where grunching gets you. [/ QUOTE ] I Am Legend is awesome. But it's a novella. And you can make an argument that it's not science fiction, it's horror.

Re: Best science fiction story of all-time nomination thread
This is actually by heinlein, but I am too lazy to look up the title. I still have the book somewhere, although I haven't read it in 20 years.
