These are three imaginative science fiction stories by an author I admire a lot, William Tenn. "Venus is a Man's World", ("Galaxy Science Fiction", July 1951), "Project Hush" ("Galaxy Science Fiction", 1954) and "Of All Possible Worlds" ("Galaxy", Sept 1956).

The brink of disaster. The Relentless is destroyed, and Captain Husher has fallen into a coma. The Brood harries the battle group from all sides, and the end seems near. Can the allied humans and aliens pull together to escape to the Milky Way and warn humanity of its impending doom? The time of reckoning has come.

An interstellar craft is decelerating after its century-long voyage. Its destination is V538 Aurigae, a now-empty planet dominated by one gigantic megastructure, a conical mountain of such height that its summit is high above the atmosphere. The ship's crew of five hope to discover how the long-departed builders made such a colossal thing, and why: a space elevator? a temple? a work of art? Its resemblance to the mountain of purgatory lead the crew to call this world Dante.
