[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. It may seem highly eccentric to write a piece … Continue reading [August 15, 1964] What are you thinking? (The Whole Man aka Telepathist by John Brunner; The Universe Against Her, by James H.

[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)

[December 12, 1969] A More Liberal Society? (Vision of Tomorrow #4)

By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall Just some of the many brands of sex you can enjoy at your local tobacconist theatre It seems the final death knell for Capital Punishment in the UK will be sounded soon. There is a vote soon in the House of Lords, widely expected to pass, to make the trial period … Continue reading [December 12, 1969] A More Liberal Society? (Vision of Tomorrow #4)

[November 6, 1969] I Can See For Miles (Piers Anthony's Macroscope)

No, this is not Galactoscope, which is still a week-and-a-half off, but a review (I suppose in keeping with the subject's rather large girth) presented on its own. Last year, I believe almost to the day, we got Piers Anthony’s previous novel, Omnivore, which I reviewed a few months later. (There are so many paperbacks … Continue reading [November 6, 1969] I Can See For Miles (Piers Anthony's Macroscope)

by Gideon Marcus Unusually for the Galactoscope, our monthly round-up of new science fiction publications, we're starting this article with a stop press. It's simply too big an item to ignore. If you read the papers this morning, you know the big news was that the Mets played the winning game of the World Series … Continue reading [October 16, 1969] The March Goes On (Heartsease, Masque World, The Shadow People, Avengers of Carrig…and more!)

[September 6, 1969] A hot time in the old town (Worldcon in St. Louis!)

by Gideon Marcus What an idea to have the 27th World Science Fiction Convention in crummy St. Louis in summer!  It was hot.  It was muggy. From Fanac And it was glorious.  Thanks, Ozark SF Assn., particularly co-chairs Ray and Joyce Fisher, for your bid and your hard work.  Apparently, the bid traced its beginnings … Continue reading [September 6, 1969] A hot time in the old town (Worldcon in St. Louis!)
