AUTHENTIC SCIENCE FICTION tation there is something fresh and original. Maine, who wrote the highly successful play-novel-film Spaceways, always does a first class job of work and does not merely rehash the old piece. Time- liner is fully as good as Space- ways and is one of the few really credible time travel stories. It is mature, exciting, thoughtful and polemic. You must read it. Published by Hodder & Stoughton (St. Paul’s House, London, E.C.4) at 10s. 6d. Museum Press, we are pleased to see, have started putting out really good science fiction again. The latest is WORLD OUT OF MIND, by J. T. McIntosh, a really splendid book whose plot we cannot adequately describe here, but which is of that hypnotic type that keeps you reading page after page when you know you ought to go to bed. Fine writing and careful structure characterise MclIntosh’s novels, and this is no exception. It is nicely embellished by a jacket cover painted by an artist familiar to Authentic fans—the best cover Museum have had for 136 some time. This book is essential for serious science fiction fans. Museum Press (26 Old Brompton Road) put it out at 9s. 6d. (Incidentally, Museum will be bringing out a British edition of McIntosh’s One in Three Hundred early next year. We reviewed this in our November issue and said it was a must, Congratulations, Museum!) 9 The fourth series of THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION STORIES, edited by E. F. Bleiler and T. E. Dikty, comes out in a British edition from Grayson & Grayson (16 Maddox Street, London, W.1) at 9s. 6d. This contains thirteen good stories that it is nice to have in permanent form, all by well-known American and British authors. A recommended volume. Another anthology, THE BEST FROM FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION is a collection of stories from one of America’s top-flight magazines. Sixteen stories grace its pages with wit and charm, and literary expertise. You should get it—from Doubleday (575 Madison - comiclooks.cormn
