About this issue

This issue features three novelettes and four short stories. "Lovers Subversive" by D. A. Jourdan involves a protagonist named Van who, after meeting Rhea, becomes willing to commit the same crime he is prosecuting Dargo for committing. "The Renegade" by Thomas N. Scortia explores whether human contact with extraterrestrial worlds destroys alien civilizations regardless of intentions, with a character named Bartok arguing that it does. Short story selections include "Temptress of Eden" by A. Bertram Chandler, which opens with an interview between a journalist and retired space captain Aspinall discussing the ethical implications of sharing technological knowledge like fire with primitive alien cultures. "The Moon Is New" by David Osborne concerns solitary-minded men selected for solo spaceflight missions, exploring tension between capability and individuality. "Protected Planet" by Dan Morgan depicts a world where natives' only defense mechanism is suicide, presenting opportunity for an unscrupulous entrepreneur. A special feature, "It's Me, O Lord" by Alma Hill, addresses communication as essential science for human unity, examining language development.
