FICTION KEMLO AND THE SKY HORSE is obviously for the very young. It is a tale of life on artificial satellites where the children are born being able to live in space with no space suit. This must raise interest- ing problems—as well as eyebrows—with their parents, who, born on Earth, do not have this power. Whenever these children see their parents, one or other must be space- suited. The older satellite children are “Scouts” and have their own scooters, in which they can go for miles in space, and some of them build a plastic horse on which they can ride. This horse resembles Pegasus and is all very ro- mantic and juvenile. Written by E. C. Eliott and published by Nelson, (36 Park Street, W.1) at 5s. 127 SHADOWS IN THE SUN is, we think, Chad Oliver’s first novel, He has made a very fine, exciting and suspenseful job of it. This is true science fiction, with none of the vapid thrilis so often as- sociated with the genre. The tale is about Jefferson Springs, a strange sort of Texan town where Paul Ellery is doing anthropological re- search. Turns out that his research is not anthropological after all, and that’s the only clue we’ll give to the unfolding of this brilliant little book. You buy it; you’ll like it. From Ballantine Books (404 - Fifth Avenue, New York, 18, N.Y., U.S.A.) at 35 cents. THE SECOND ASTOUNDING SCIENCE FICTION ANTHOLOGY, edited by John W. Campbell, Jun., comes from.
