# Amazing Stories, March 1969

This issue features five short stories and three novelets of speculative fiction. "The Invasion of the Giant Stupid Dinosaurs" by Thomas M. Disch presents itself as an eyewitness account letter describing a spacecraft landing in a field adjacent to a reverend's house, with the craft's silhouette resembling an enormous Mercedes hubcap. John T. Sladek contributes "The Aggressor," while David R. Bunch's "In the Time of Disposal of Infants" and Durant Imboden's "Prelude to Reconstruction" complete the short fiction. The novelets include Mack Reynolds's "The Man in the Moon," Milton Lesser's "Ask a Foolish Question," and Walter M. Miller Jr.'s "Death of a Spaceman." Richard C. Meredith concludes the serial "We All Died at Breakaway Station." The issue also contains science and book-review columns, with an editorial by Laurence M. Janifer examining limitations in science-fiction publishing regarding sex, literary style, and humor.
