This issue, we have a pair of original stories: Stephen D. Rogers’ “Sonnenblumenkried” (which translates as Sunflower War, for those not fluent in German), courtesy of Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and a new Velda story by Ron Miller. Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman snagged a great Edith Maxwell tale, plus we have The Disappearance of Anne Shaw, by Augusta Huiell Seaman as our mystery novel. And don’t forget there’s another Hal Charles solve-it-yourself puzzler, too.
   On the science fiction & fantasy side, we have a pair of novelettes from pulp greats: Edmond Hamilton and Arthur Leo Zagat. Plus an early Harlan Ellison story, and tales by Charles V. De Vet and Sam Carson. Fun stuff.
