About this issue

This British pulp magazine showcases five science fiction stories set primarily on Venus. Kenneth Johns opens with "The Barred Spiral Enigma," a non-fiction astronomy feature about NGC 7741, a barred spiral galaxy, discussing galaxy classification and the possibility of future interstellar voyages. The fiction content includes Philip E. High's novelette "Infection," depicting a plague spreading rapidly across Venus (four hundred cases daily) while mining operations struggle with bureaucratic resistance from research institutes. Robert Presslie's novelette "Suicide Squad" concerns an inhospitable alien planet offering either death or fulfilled life. Kenneth Bulmer contributes "Survey Corpse," while Robert Silverberg's "The World He Left Behind Him," Mark Patrick's "The Return," and Brian W. Aldiss's "The Lieutenant" round out the short story selections. The issue includes regular features: editorial commentary on science fiction's viability post-1958, book reviews, correspondence, and fan contributions.
