Join us on August 29 at 7pm Pacific Daylight Time for the first edition of Science Fiction Theater—every week, we'll broadcast an excellent show or two, accompanied by fanzine readings and, of course, with commercials! By Mx Kris Vyas-Myall In general, there is a certain patriarchal attitude us Brits have towards the Commonwealth. We assume … Continue reading [August 28, 1969] Aussie-British Publishing (Vision of Tomorrow #1)
by Victoria Silverwolf Ladies of Darkness Two very different novels by women fell into my hands this month. Just about the only thing they have in common is a downbeat mood. Even that, however, is treated in highly dissimilar ways by the authors. Let's take a look. Shadows of Tomorrow, by Dorothy Daniels Anonymous cover … Continue reading [August 16, 1969] Soaring high and low (August 1969 Galactoscope)
by Fiona Moore I was interested in reading this month’s Ace Double because I’d never read any Rackham, but had heard some good things about his writing. Ipomoea turned out to be a mixed bag, a pacy adventure story with some interesting themes that didn’t quite live up to its early promise. Cover of Ipomoea … Continue reading [April 16, 1969] The Men from Ipomoea (April 1969 Galactoscope)
by Gideon Marcus We've got a whopping ten titles for you to enjoy this month. Part of it is the increased pace of paperback production. Part is the increased number of Journey reviewers on staff! Enjoy: Double, Double, by John Brunner From the author of Stand on Zanzibar, and also a lot of churned-out mediocrity, … Continue reading [January 14, 1969] Ten for the road (January Galactoscope)
by Alison Scott A report of the Thirdmancon, Eastercon 1968 It’s hard to overstate the anticipation I had for Eastercon 1968. It was going to be the largest national convention ever, with over 200 fans expected! In the end I understand that something like 150 people turned up; still the largest British national convention yet. … Continue reading [May 8, 1968] A Visit to Thirdmancon, the 1968 British Science Fiction Convention
by Victoria Silverwolf A trio of new works, two of them inside the same book, take readers from the far reaches of the galaxy to the depths of the ocean. (Sounds like last month's Galactoscope, doesn't it?) Let's start with the latest Ace Double, containing two short novels (or long novellas) set in interstellar space. … Continue reading [May 16, 1967] From the Sea to the Stars (May 1967 Galactoscope)
by Victoria Silverwolf Happy New Year! We have to be told twice that it's the Fabulous Flamingo. Here we go with my first magazine review of 1967. I'm glad to say that the year begins with a bang, as the lead novella in the latest issue of Worlds of Tomorrow is a knockout. Will the … Continue reading [January 16, 1967] Off to a Good Start (February 1967 Worlds of Tomorrow)
by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again! In a follow-on from last month’s comments, the rumours of falling sales on both Brit magazines seem to be holding water. This is worrying, especially when both magazines seem to be on a roll, but the one I like most is the lesser-selling of the two. New … Continue reading [November 26, 1966] White Boats, Whales and Disch, New Worlds and SF Impulse, December 1966
by Mx. Kris Vyas-Myall Move over James Bond and John Steed, there is a new dashing science fictional spy on the scene. I am of course referring to the latest hit from the team behind Doctor Who: Adam Adamant Lives! An old-fashioned Victorian swashbuckling hero, Adam Adamant is frozen by a masked supervillain and buried … Continue reading [September 4, 1966] British Science Fiction Lives!

by Gideon Marcus The Future Over in England, they're swimming in science fiction anthology-esque shows, from Out of the Unknown to Doctor Who. What have we got Stateside? Lost in Space? My Favorite Martian? Ever since The Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone went off the air, TV has been something of an SF wasteland. … Continue reading [May 20, 1966] Things to Come and Things that Are(June 1966 Fantasy and Science Fiction)
