Publisher Description:
This
time, we have a pair of original mysteries—tales by Steve Liskow (courtesy of
Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and M.A. Blume, plus a terrific tale by Steve
Hockensmith (which typography nuts like me will enjoy, courtesy of Acquiring
Editor Barb Goffman). The mystery novel is by Avery Gaul, and of course we have
a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
On
the science fiction side, we have a novel by Golden Age author Arthur Leo
Zagat, an early—and quite silly—fantasy from Harlan Ellison, space opera from
Edmond Hamilton, and straight-up SF tales from John Victor Peterson and Manly
Bannister. Lots of fun.
Here’s
the lineup:
