[New to the Journey? Read this for a brief introduction!] You may look at the byline for today's book of mine and wonder if your eyes are deceiving you; but no, that really is T. L. Sherred, who some older readers may remember as having written a few SF stories more than 15 years ago. … Continue reading [January 25, 1970] Alien Island, Enchantress from the Stars, The Winds of Darkover, and The Anything Tree →

by Mark Yon Scenes from England Hello again! As we are now into Summer here, the warmer weather leads to reflection, if not introspection, although I am quite excited about the next few months. Not only do we have the impending Apollo mission to land men on the Moon – and how exciting does that … Continue reading [June 26, 1969] Five Years… New Worlds, July 1969 →

[April 16, 1969] The Men from Ipomoea (April 1969 Galactoscope)

1 Comment

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 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. Will it be lucky #13? New Writings in S-F 13 Carnell notes there is an international flavour to this volume, with four Brits, Two Aussies, One … Continue reading [October 12, 1968] (October 1968 Galactoscope) →

by Mx. Kris Vyas-Myall The Butterfly Kid by Chester Anderson Drugs seem to be everywhere these days in science fiction. From Aldiss’ Acid War stories in New Worlds, through Dick’s Faith of Our Fathers in Dangerous Visions, to Brunner’s Productions of Time in Fantasy & Science Fiction. Some days I wonder if I am the … Continue reading [February 14, 1968] Triple John (February 1968 Galactoscope) →

[December 4, 1967] Devaluation (New Writings in SF-11 & Beyond Infinity December 1967)

4 Comments

by Mx. Kris Vyas-Myall With so much news about social reforms or issues in Rhodesia and Aden, it is easy to forget that the economy was one of the main issues that led to Wilson’s election as Prime Minister, in particular dealing with the trade deficit. For almost a decade now Britain has been importing … Continue reading [December 4, 1967] Devaluation (New Writings in SF-11 & Beyond Infinity December 1967) →

[September 10, 1966] Bon appetit! (this month's Galactoscope)

1 Comment

by Victoria Silverwolf What's Space Opera, Doc? with apologies to Chuck Jones There are many different kinds of science fiction stories. Time travel, future societies, parallel worlds, and so on. When most people think of science fiction, however, they probably imagine tales set in outer space. I recently came across three new works of SF … Continue reading [September 10, 1966] Bon appetit!

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!

[June 12, 1966] Which Way to Outer Space? (New Writings In SF 8)

1 Comment

by Mx. Kris Vyas-Myall Space has been big news in the British press recently. Not the current struggles of America’s Gemini-9 link-up, but rather the saga of the UK’s presence in the ELDO. The European Launch Development Organization was formed by a treaty signed in 1962 between Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium and The Netherlands … Continue reading [June 12, 1966] Which Way to Outer Space?
