In Our December Issue: The Appendix and the Spectacles Flight to Venus The Metal Man The World at Bay (A Serial in 2 parts) Part II,
By B. Wallis and Geo. G. Wallis 798
The Fifth Dimension Before the Ice Age Monorail The Space Bender Our Cover this month illustrates a scene from “The Metal Man,” by Jack Williamson, in which the scientist, in the land of metal and floating lights, is being held against the point of the thing of glittering, blazing crystal—a great, six-sided upright prism of red—the scarlet fire reaching out caressingly over his body and lifting him slowly up with it. |
In Our Next Issue: The War of the Planets, by Harl Vincent. In this sequel to “The Golden Girl of Munan,” which appeared in the June 1928 issue of Amazing Stories, the author outdoes himself in the superb manner in which he keeps this story going. It is full of action, excitement, adventure and hero worship. But never does the author forget the importance of science in his tale. There is hardly any limit which scientists, bent on revenge, might not reach. And those few Munanese who returned from a trip, to find Munan completely blown up, might almost be excused for seeking to wreak vengeance. The Roger Bacon Formula, by Irvin Lester and Fletcher Pratt. Roger Bacon, an eminent scientist of the 13th Century, expounded theories so far in advance of his time, that he was accused of working with black magic and was therefore persecuted to a great extent. He is said to have put down many of his scientific ideas in a sort of cipher. This story, which is based on a supposed cipher formula, makes an unusual inter-planetarian story that will be enjoyed even by those who are not “interplanetary story fans.” The Purple Death, by Jack Barnette. Quite recently, Dr. Coolidge of the General Electric Company, experimented with a new ray by means of which startling experiments were made. Among other things, these rays changed the color of a rabbit’s hair. We know so little about our unknown rays, that almost anything might be possible. And it is excellently written. Cauphul, the City Under the Sea, by George Cookman Watson. This story is written by a newspaper man, who regards facts—if interesting—an important part of any tale and has taken the trouble—and he assures us, pleasure—to get his information from authentic sources, and he gives us here a fascinating tale. That he also draws on his imagination, only enhances the interest. We know you will call for a sequel to this story. |
