New Worlds Science Fiction #62

# New Worlds Science Fiction, Vol. 21, No. 62, August 1957

This issue features "The Uninhibited," Part One of a three-part serial by Dan Morgan, described as comparable to Wilson Tucker's Wild Talent. The science fiction narrative involves Dr. Keenan, who uses a surgically implanted sub-vocalizer to detect telepathic "sensitives"—individuals with psychic powers. At a birth scene, Keenan finds himself torn between his deception mission and his genuine love for Marie, who shows telepathic sensitivity despite being classified as "inhibited." The story explores themes of psychic abilities, covert operations, and moral conflict.

Additional short stories include: "The Book of Power" by Bertram Chandler, "The Underlings" by John Kippax, "Manhunter" by John Boland, "Buried Talent" by Philip E. High, and "According to Hoyle" by Paul McClelland. Kenneth Bufmer contributes "Native Law," while an article on Antarctica appears by Kenneth Johns. Editor John Carnell discusses the magazine's decision to eliminate interior artwork in favor of cleaner page layouts.
