Surface Tension - Book Review

With the close of 2019 upon us today, I quickly knocked off another book, a science fiction short story titled Surface Tension by James Blish. This story is part of the first volume of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame collection.

It's an interesting short story that starts with a crash landing of a crew on a inhospitable planet. The crew are doomed to death, but before dying, they plant offspring embryos adapted to survive the planet. These new humans are tiny, bacteria sized humans, that go through a process of evolving from water dwelling creatures to land dwelling creatures, following the steps of evolution on Earth.

Not the greatest science fiction short story, but an interesting, if odd, short read.
