The Benko Gambit is featured in Jack McDevitt's short story, "Black to Move", anthologized in both Standard Candles and again in the 2009 collection Breach The Hull, as well as in William Ballard's short story "Retrograde Analysis", published in Analog Science Fiction.
The inventions of Hieronymus were championed by Astounding Science Fiction editor John W. Campbell in late 1950s and early 1960s editorials.
The stories were previously published in 1981 in the magazines Omni, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact, and Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, the collections Sunfall and Out of the Everywhere and Other Extraordinary Visions, and the anthology Distant Worlds.
Tom Easton, writing in Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact, takes a different view, calling the book "less good than its predecessors, partly because it is too much of a reprise. Too often, the pages ask (and answer), "Whatever happened to so and so?" and the story suffers for its lack of original novelty."
