About this eBook

This issue, we have original mysteries from Eve Fisher (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), Tony Rothman, and Michael Mallory (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman), plus a classic novel from Arthur B. Reeve (one of his Craig Kennedy scientific detective series). And, of course, we have a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.

On the science fiction side, we 6 tales instead of our usual 5—largely because Robert F. Young’s is a short-short. Classic stories come from William Morrison, F.L. Wallace, Evelyn E. Smith, and Bryce Walton & Al Reynolds (a collaboration). A novella from Grand Master Damon Knight rounds things out.

Here’s the complete lineup—

Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure:

“At the Dig,” by Eve Fisher [Michael Bracken Presents short story]

“Death Books a B&B,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]

“A Well-Kept Secret,” by Michael Mallory [Barb Goffman Presents short story]

“Calendar Girl,” by Tony Rothman [novella]

The Adventuress, by Arthur B. Reeve [novel, Craig Kennedy series]

Science Fiction & Fantasy:

“No Star’s Land,” by William Morrison [short story]

“The Space Roc,” by Robert F. Young [short-short story]

“Too Close to the Forest,” by Bryce Walton and Al Reynolds [short story]

“The Deadly Ones,” by F.L. Wallace [short story]

“Woman’s Touch,” by Evelyn E. Smith [short story]
