About this issue

This pulp science-fiction magazine features Jules Verne's serial "The Master of the World" (Part I), a sequel to "Robur the Conqueror" involving mysterious, high-speed apparitions witnessed by a federal police inspector investigating extraordinary twentieth-century events. The issue includes David H. Keller's "The Revolt of the Pedestrians," Hugo Gernsback's installments of "Baron Munchausen's Scientific Adventures," H.G. Wells' "Pollock and the Porroh Man," Bob Olsen's "Four Dimensional Surgery," David M. Speaker's "The Disintegrating Ray," and Walter Kateley's "The Fourteenth Earth." Poetry by Leland S. Copeland and additional stories complete the issue. Advertisements promote technical training—electrical work, drafting, radio operation—targeting readers seeking better employment. An announcement previews the inaugural Amazing Stories Quarterly, featuring H.G. Wells' "When the Sleeper Wakes," Homer Eon Flint's "The New Man," and other speculative fiction novels.
