About this issue

This is the November 1960 British edition of Astounding Science Fact & Fiction. The issue features "The High Crusade" by Poul Anderson (serial, part one of three), a science fiction story narrated by Brother Parvus, a medieval English monk. In 1345, as military forces gather at the English town of Ansby for the French Wars, a massive metal spacecraft descends from the sky. The initial panic is calmed by Red John Hameward, a longbowman captain, who leads soldiers to meet the alien vessel. The issue also includes the novelette "The Brotherhood of Keepers" by Dean McLaughlin, short stories "The Troublemaker" by Christopher Anvil and "Dust Rag" by Hal Clement, and science fact article "Beyond the Phyla" by Isaac Asimov. The editorial discusses how humans struggle to imagine motivations beyond their experience.
