Reviewer describes Rog Phillips (1909-1966) as a representative, prolific post-war science fiction author. The work Worlds Within (1955) is called naive, poorly supported scientifically, and of interest mainly as historical testimony. Translation problems and dated language reduce the book's appeal. Recommended only to genre enthusiasts or those interested in the era.
