Our 54th issue is another good one. On the mystery side, we have a great original tale by Jacqueline Feimor (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), plus strong stories by Stephen D. Rogers (selected by Barb Goffman) and James Holding, another solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles (the writing team of Hal Blythe and Charlie Sweet), and an Edwardian mystery novel by Dick Donovan-whose popularity rivaled that of Arthur Conan Doyle in their day.
On the science fiction side, Acquiring Editor Cythia Ward has a stunning tale by Holly Wade Matter, plus we have classic shorts by James Blish, Robert Zacks, and Kendell Foster Crossen-plus a novel by Arthur K. Barnes. Good stuff!
