We're breaking up this month's Galactoscope in two—and the dross leads the back. The next three books are all sub-mediocre, but the reviews are well worth the price of admission!

Covers of three books. The first cover is for the book A Harvest of Hoodwinks by Robert Lory. The illustration shows a man in an astronaut suit standing at the entrance of a cave, carrying a lamp. The floor, walls and ceiling of the cave are covered in thick webs. Text on the cover says, Sleight of hand in sciences and sorceries. The second cover is for the book Masters of the Lamp by Robert Lory. The illustration shows a human figure wearing a white robe, standing atop a pillar. Next to the human figure is a floating black octopus. Below, a human face is surrounded by five small planets. Text on the cover says, Send a spy to find a god.
