UITE a nice line-up this month, I think. Of course, I may be biassed, but I expect you will soon let me know if I am! Even though the five stories are of very high quality, yet they introduce four brand new authors. I feel that these new men are going to make quite a mark on science fiction. Do you agree? The novel by Bryan Berry is in the vein of truly modern science fiction that moves with the pace and tension of a first class thriller. The Merchants, by D. R. Davies, is an intrigu- ing comment on the relativity of values. Outside—Looking In, by Ron Elton, is one of the rare pieces of science fiction humour that come our way. The Higher Mathematics is the first, we hope, of a series by M. C. Woodhouse dealing with the remarkable mind- children of his remarkable leading character. Those are all the new writers. To 2a OM ie Keeping faith with the old and preserving the thread of friendly continuity is Dan Morgan with Psychic Twin. I tend to feel that this is Dan’s best effort yet. It certainly in- dicates that he has found a place for, himself in science fiction. On the whole, not a bad col- lection, I would say. Then we have a nice range of non- fiction. Frank Wilson con- tinues with his series on logic, showing us this time what it really means to infer. Pat O’Hara gives us some interest- ing material on robots and makes us realise that those in stories are not so fantastic as they sometimes appear. Peter Summers, in light-hearted vein, introduces us to some of the problems that may arise in the future. I, myself, give some data on the hydrogen bomb, which I hope will interest you. And, last but most certainly far from least, we have The Conniclooolxs.cCOm) = i ih eee Ce iM ae he
