Amazing Stories, September 1955

About this issue

This September 1955 issue of Amazing Stories features four science fiction stories. "One Man to Kill" by Paul W. Fairman depicts an alien invasion: a massive tubular spacecraft appears over Earth, proves invulnerable to human missiles including the advanced "Suzy Three," and systematically destroys major cities. After obliterating Seattle with a devastating energy weapon that causes agonizing deaths, it attacks New York, then lands in the East River near Riker's Island, where it freezes the surrounding water to create a platform. Milton Lesser contributes "No Place to Live." C.H. Thames provides "My Name Is Mayhem," and Ivar Jorgensen offers "The Genius." The issue includes editorial, letters, and review departments.
