Future Science Fiction, No. 41, February 1959. This issue contains five fiction works. "Tournament, Part One" by L.D. Hinckley depicts a starship crew whose vessel and bodies are components of an alien game played on a fantastical board. "The Pity of the Wood" by Joy Leache tells of crew member Tob who falls in love with Gloria, a woman from a human colony planet established 420 years prior by shipwreck; her mysterious behavior suggests hidden truths about her nature. Kate Wilhelm's "The Trouble With Toys" features Humphreys confronting unsettling implications of dream-fulfilling children's toys. "You Do Something To Me" by Calvin M. Knox concerns the galaxy-wide celebrity of a Miss Universe pageant winner. Richard Wilson's "Frostbite" is a brief survival story set on Halfworld. A non-fiction article by Thomas N. Scortia, "The Race Into Space," discusses chemical rockets and free radical propulsion systems. Edited by Robert A.W. Lowndes.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
