[August 15, 1964] What are you thinking? (The Whole Man aka Telepathist by John Brunner; The Universe Against Her, by James H. Schmitz)

[This month's Galactoscope features a pair of books with a common subject — but you already know what it is, if you possess the powers associated with that subject…] by Victoria Silverwolf Out of Many, One Baby USA and the National Bird fighting over a ribbon.

[March 25, 1962] A Double Hit (A. Bertram Chandler's The Rim of Space and John Brunner's Secret Agent of Terra)

by Rosemary Benton I love the bookstore in my town. Not only do they have a newsstand in front that provides me with the latest world events and developments in the US space program, but they have a very comprehensive science fiction section, front and center, as you walk in. I'll occasionally look at the … Continue reading [March 25, 1962] A Double Hit (A. Bertram Chandler's The Rim of Space and John Brunner's Secret Agent of Terra)

[February 18, 1969] (February Galactoscope)

Moore Let the Fire Fall by Kate Wilhelm Kate Wilhelm is perhaps better known for her debut … Continue reading [February 18, 1969] (February Galactoscope)

[January 26, 1968] A New World Order New Worlds, February 1969

by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again. After the grumpiness of my last review, I’m pleased to say that 1969 has arrived and put me in a better frame of mind. I am determined that this new year will see me being more positive. Mind you, New Worlds seems determined at times to try … Continue reading [January 26, 1968] A New World Order New Worlds, February 1969

[January 14, 1969] Ten for the road (January Galactoscope)

[December 30, 1968] Beautiful Downtown Starbank (the 1968 Galactic Stars)

by Gideon Marcus At long last, it's holiday season again—and that means offering up our choices for the best science fiction of 1968.  These recommendations represent the culmination of a year's work: reading virtually every English-language (and some translated) work of science fiction and fantasy, regardless of where it's published; reviewing them; rating them; nominating … Continue reading [December 30, 1968] Beautiful Downtown Starbank (the 1968 Galactic Stars)

[December 26, 1968] Comfort OK? Looking Forward, Not Backwards New Worlds, January 1969

by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again. A recent comment from our leader here at Galactic Journey caused me to pause for thought. As he summed up the year in science fiction, it struck me that we are about to end one year (not that un-obvious, admittedly) and about to begin the last year … Continue reading [December 26, 1968] Comfort OK?

[October 22, 1968] Hello Again!  New Worlds, October & November 1968

by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello. Testing, testing.. Anyone there? This feels a little like one of those lonely messages out on the ether, post-apocalypse. I was last here for the July 1968 issue, whose publication, if you remember, was at a time of turmoil…. And then nothing for nearly four months. Until now, … Continue reading [October 22, 1968] Hello Again!  New Worlds, October & November 1968

[October 12, 1968] (October 1968 Galactoscope)

by Mx. Kris Vyas-Myall Although only bi-annual, rather than quarterly, at the moment, Carnell continues to regularly release his anthology series, easily eclipsing Pohl’s Star series and Knight’s Orbit.
