"Temple Trouble" by H. Beam Piper
"Cat and Mouse" by Ralph Williams
"The Soul Master" by R. J. Robbins and Will Smith
"Hunter Patrol" by H. Beam Piper
"Gambler's World" by Keith Laumer
"Temple Trouble" is great, it's one of Piper's stories of the Paratime Police. In this story the organization needs to rescue some employees of a transuniversal mining corporation who got in over their heads in an Iron Age culture.
"Cat and Mouse" is probably the best story of the collection. It's really exciting story about an elderly trapper in Alaska who fights an alien monster.
"The Soul Master" is a gruesome mad scientist story. It's overlong and switches main characters halfway through, but is entertaining.
"Hunter Patrol" is an exciting time travel story, but it gets too clever near the end and doesn't quite stick the landing.
"Gambler's World" is a story of palace intrigue on a future planet. It's not terribly exciting and written in a way that makes it hard to understand what's going on.
Overall this is a great collection.
