Damon Knight recommends
 The Book of Ptath (1947) A E van Vogt "Van Vogt's work has a raw power that has never been equalled in science fiction." |  Conjure Wife (1953) Fritz Leiber "Easily the most frightening (and necessarily) the most thoroughly convincing of all modern horror stories...Leiber has never written anything better." |  The End of Eternity (1955) Isaac Asimov "Monumentally good ideas...fascinating." |
 Dangerous Visions 1 (1967) Harlan Ellison "Gigantic, exuberant, startling, vital, meaningful." |  Dreamsnake (1978) Vonda N McIntyre "One of the best and brightest of the new science fiction writers." |  Systemic Shock (1981) (Quantrill, book 1) Dean Ing "Terrifyingly plausible." |
