Our Cover this month, depicts a scene from the story entitled, “The Octopus Cycle,” by Irvin Lester and Fletcher Pratt, in which the small group of natives, headed by the American scientist and a Frenchman, are fleeing from the scene of battle against a highly organized army of enormous animals of the mollusk order. Several of the natives are caught up in the tentacles of the octopuses, only to vanish almost instantly. |
In Our Next Issue: The Golden Girl of Munan, by Harl Vincent. “Necessity is the mother of invention.” Hatred, or a lust for revenge, also enables a person to perform wonders. What a very few scientists, exiled with a small group-of radicals, finally invent on a small island off in the uncharted seas, is graphically told by our new author, who not only has a vivid imagination, but, being an engineer of high standing, has an adequate amount of scientific knowledge from which to draw. Baron Münchhausen’s Scientific Adventures,, by Hugo Gernsback. Mars, according to most scientists, is an almost inexhaustible source of interest, and our friend, the Baron, being avid for interesting information and experiences, and having a knack for learning everything worth while knowing, continues, in his own manner, to tell us about the cities of Mars and how the planets look, as seen through the powerful Martian telescopes. He also advances an entirely new theory as to how the Martians might make life bearable on their desert planet. The Blue Dimension, by Francis Flagg. Of course, you will remember Mr, Flagg’s past stories, “The Master Ants” and “The Machine Man of Ardathia.” In “The Blue Dimension,” he has produced a real thriller, Here he takes us to another plane; a different world, and it is a most convincing story, too, Don't miss it, by any means. The Invisible Man, by H. G. Wells. While there have been many battles fought in our Discussions Department as to certain Wells’ stories, the editor makes the prediction that “The Invisible Man” will be acclaimed by all of the readers of Amazing Stories. “The Invisible Man” no doubt is a scientifiction story, plus. It is one of those stories that is well nigh perfect. Of all the “invisible” type of stories ever written, anywhere, we unhesitatingly say this is the best and by far the most scientific. |
