Valley of Pretenders
The ship suddenly jolted slightly and became still. The throbbing of the tremendous rocket engines ceased; the vessel lay in the half-shade of towering trees that stretched upwards to surprising heights against the slight gravity. The multiple lights of Saturn and the moons filled the outside jungle with a curiously ghostly white tinge, not unlike indirect floodlighting.

The Teacher from Mars
"The Teacher from Mars" became an instant classic when it was published in the February 1941 issue of the classic pulp magazine, Thrilling Wonder Stories. It concerns a Martian who comes to Earth as a teacher, experiencing—in the wake of a devastating war—racism and intolerance. Told from the first person viewpoint of an alien, it was unusual for its time, and Eando Binder (the pseudonym of Otto O. Binder) selected it as his best work for the 1954 anthology, My Best Scieince Fiction Story.

New Olympus
This startlingly beautiful and exotic story has to do with one of the most wondrous and frightening things in the world: growing up. Such simple words for such a complex, weighty, never-ending process. It carries with it the realization of responsibilities, the maddening loss of one kind of security and the sometimes-reluctant gain of another, and so much isolation. “New Olympus” is undoubtedly about a good deal more than the loss of one’s childhood. Cross’s stories, his visions of life, are as complex as the finest poetry and similarly leave the reader with singular, recognizable, yet hard-to-define feelings. This one left us feeling awash in admiration.

Precedent
“Tanner,” he called.
“Hurry up, down there,” yelled the navigator. “Let’s get on our way.”
“Tanner. Come down here.” Some thing in Manders’ voice brought immediate action.
Tanner came scrambling down the tube, his face serious. “What is it?”
“Look!” Tanner followed the other’s gaze, touched the thin stream of sticky stuff, held his hand closer to his eyes.
“Blood!” he breathed. “By all that’s holy. Blood!”

The Adventures of Lance the Lizard
"The bald fact of the matter is that there are few writers who can pull off utter confusion the way Cross can. And yet we are given to understand that Cross is an upright, reasonable sort, who, judging from the stories that have appeared under his name, turns onto writing the way a flower child turns onto psychedelics. For that matter few writers would dare commit a story like this to paper—who but Cross would have guessed that the adventures of a star-crossed lizard would make such exciting reading?
Sometimes the best fiction is inexplicable. We think you’ll find “The Adventures of Lance the Lizard” inexplicably joyful. —And that is a recommendation we seldom make."
