There was no stopping General Zarvas’ rebellion. Hunted and hated in two worlds, Hradzka dreamed of a monomaniac’s glory, stranded in the past with his knowledge of the future. But he didn’t know the past quite well enough....

Social living requires the elimination, or at very best, the modification of many elements necessary to survival in “nature”. And when an emergency arises, very often it is the person who would be considered a “criminal”, in other situations, who alone is able to cope with the necessities. If we manage to eliminate “violence” from human affairs, what will we find when a need for “violence” arises—a need outside of man’s artificial control of his environment?

The main trouble is that you’d never suspect anything was wrong; you’d enjoy associating with slizzers, so long as you didn’t know....

“Normality” is a myth; we’re all a little neurotic, and the study of neurosis has been able to classify the general types of disturbance which are most common. And some types (providing the subject is not suffering so extreme a case as to have crossed the border into psychosis) can be not only useful, but perhaps necessary for certain kinds of work....

Psychopathology has offered possible answers to why, from time to time, people in large quantities “see” strange things in the sky which manage to evade trained scientific observers, or conform to what is known about the behavior of falling or flying bodies.

In science-fiction, as in all categories of fiction, there are stories that are so outstanding from the standpoint of characterization, concept, and background development that they remain popular for decades. Two such stories were Murray Leinster’s The Mad Planet and Red Dust.Originally published in 1923, they have been reprinted frequently both here and abroad. Now Murray Leinster has written the final story in the series. It is not necessary to have read the previous stories to enjoy this one. Once again, Burl experiences magnificent adventures against a colorful background, but to the whole the author has added philosophical and psychological observations that give this story a flavor seldom achieved in science-fiction.

The gifting of animals with human speech is scarcely an unique idea; the idea of a talking horse goes back at least to the siege of Troy, for certainly there must have been some dialogue amongst the Greek warriors enclosed in the wooden horse’s belly. But we think you’ll agree that Miss Smith’s filly has something special. Incubus won every race but one. Yet though in this respect she matched Man o’ War’s record she wasn’t actually a horse at all.
