This is my first Clifford D. Simak read and I'm shocked that I've never read him before.

This is a very thoughtful and sweet story of an American Civil War veteran who becomes the unlikely station master of a Galactic Travel Station.

Enoch has lived for over 100 years. He only experiences time while outside the station and doesn't age while inside it.

He befriends the many aliens who visit and his only human friend is the mail man.

It not an overly action packed story, but delves into many philosophical ideas.

A great read. 4 Stars
