Edward Wellen (1919-2011) was a writer primarily of short stories, most in the mystery genre. However, he penned a not-insubstantial number of science fiction over the course of his career—starting (sort of!) with a "non-fact article" Origins of Galactic Slang for Galaxy magazine. This Megapack collects 25 of his best tales from those early years...plus a few later tales as well. Included are:
