Deep Space is a collection of science fiction short stories by the British writer Eric Frank Russell. It gathers a novella and eight short stories first published in the pulps between 1941 and 1952, including “First Person Singular”, “The Witness”, “Last Blast”, “Homo Saps”, “The Timid Tiger” and “Rainbow’s End”. The critic Anthony Boucher praised the selection as forming a cohesive set of comments on human and non-human relationships in space flight and colonisation.
