| This issue, we have an original mystery from Mike Adamson, plus a recent tale by Neil S. Plakcy (courtesy of our Acquiring Editors). Classic mystery reprints come from Dale Clark and Edgar Wallace. Plus, of course, a solve-it-yourself puzzler by Hal Charles. I broke out the Adventure category for Vera Shamarin, by William Murray Graydon. It’s an exciting tale of escape from Russia. Not really mystery, but perhaps more suspense, I thought it belonged in its own category. See if you agree. It’s an all-classic lineup from our science fiction writers: Ted White & Marion Zimmer Bradley lead off, followed by Frank Belknap Long, Ivar Jorgenson, and Edmond Hamilton. Jack Sharkey’s short novel, “The Programmed People,” caps things off. Here's the lineup: Mysteries / Suspense: “A Reliquary in Stone” by Mike Adamson [Michael Bracken Presents short story] “The Letter of the Law” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery] “Oystery Creek” by Neil S. Plakcy [Barb Goffman Presents short story] “A Knife in His Chest,” by Dale Clark [novelet] Angel Esquire, by Edgar Wallace [novel] Adventure: Vera Shamarin, by William Murray Graydon [novel] Science Fiction & Fantasy: “Phoenix,” by Ted White and Marion Zimmer Bradley [short story] “Little Men of Space,” by Frank Belknap Long [short story] “Ozymandias,” by Ivar Jorgenson [short story] “Sunfire!” by Edmond Hamilton [short story] The Programmed People, by Jack Sharkey [short novel] |
