This issue of Science Fiction (March 1953, vol. 3, no. 6) features original fiction across multiple genres. The cover story, "The Moon Is Death" by Raymond F. Jones, depicts the discovery of a lunar secret. The feature story, "...And the Truth Shall Make You Free" by Clifford D. Simak, follows an expedition discovering humanity's apparent resting place. Poul Anderson's novelet "Courier of Chaos" involves a strange emissary named Ushtu arriving from future millennia. Harry Warner Jr.'s "Cold War" concerns protagonists manipulating weather rather than discussing it. Short stories include H.B. Fyfe's "Romance" about an Earthling named Carl Inland encountering complications, and "A Big Man with the Girls" by James MacCreigh and Judith Merril about Bart Mandall's jealousy. The issue includes editorial commentary, book reviews, and reader participation sections rating the previous issue.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
