[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. 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)

[February 14, 1968] Triple John (February 1968 Galactoscope)

by Mx. Kris Vyas-Myall The Butterfly Kid by Chester Anderson Drugs seem to be everywhere these days in science fiction.

Some days I wonder if I am the … Continue reading [February 14, 1968] Triple John (February 1968 Galactoscope)

[September 27, 1963] Beatles, Birds and Brunner (New Worlds, October 1963)

by Mark Yon Hello again. September means that we get to Autumn, which is perhaps my favourite time of the year. The nights are getting colder and darker and the lure of a warm home with a good book or magazine grows ever more favorable. Outside the house (when I do venture outside!) those mop-top-lets, … Continue reading [September 27, 1963] Beatles, Birds and Brunner (New Worlds, October 1963)

[December 26, 1962] Diversions. (Ace Double F-161: Brunner's Times without Number, Grinnell's Destiny's Orbit)

[if you’re new to the Journey, read this to see what we’re all about!] by Gideon Marcus Ace Doubles are like an insurance policy for scientifiction readers.  Hungry for a decent yarn after a couple of lousy mags?  Want something more filling than a short story but that requires less commitment than a novel?  Did … Continue reading [December 26, 1962] Diversions. (Ace Double F-161: Brunner's Times without Number, Grinnell's Destiny's Orbit)

[July 16, 1969] Not all Jake(s) (July 1969 Galactoscope)

Aside from the stray short story I have to admit I had not read any of John Jakes’s novels, of which there have been many as of late—so many, in fact, that we folks at the Journey have not been able to cover every new Jakes book. Just this year alone we’ve gotten three or … Continue reading [July 16, 1969] Not all Jake(s) (July 1969 Galactoscope)

[May 26, 1969] Cornelius Overload! New Worlds, June 1969

by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again! The continuing voyage of the new-new-new New Worlds continues apace. (Apologies – I’m still recovering from being told that it looks like the BBC are finally – finally! – going to show Star Trek over here starting in the Summer!) Anyway, on to this month’s issue.  Cover … Continue reading [May 26, 1969] Cornelius Overload! New Worlds, June 1969

[February 18, 1969] (February Galactoscope)

Is ten books a record for the Galactoscope?  Lucky we have so many folks reading furiously for the Journey.  And it's a good thing, because amidst the dross and mediocrity, there's a couple of gems… by Tonya R. 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
