Amazing Stories Volume 197 is a great collection of action short stories from "The Golden Age of Science Fiction". Featured here are four short stories by different authors: "My Robot" and "Beauty Contest?" both by Henry Slesar, "The Untouchable Adolescents" by Harlan Ellison and "An Enemy of Peace" by Robert Silverberg.
Henry Slesar (June 12, 1927 – April 2, 2002) was an American author and playwright. He is famous for his use of irony and twist endings. After reading Slesar's "M Is for the Many" in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Alfred Hitchcock bought it for adaptation and they began many successful collaborations. Slesar wrote hundreds of scripts for television series and soap operas, leading TV Guide to call him "the writer with the largest audience in America."
