Flight Into the Unknown

Flight Into the Unknown

by Tom W. Harris

DiCredico squeezed a plastic bottle, squirting water into his face. Drops spattered and drifted off slowly through the air. Bailey blinked and stared. He was aboard the Ranger. Safe. Then panic came gibbering back at him as his body told him unmistakably he was falling."You're not!" snapped DiCredico. "No gravity, remember? Spin ship!" he ordered o..

Last Run on Venus

Last Run on Venus

by James McKimmey

This was Nicholas Caine's last run and he didn't like it. It didn't look right or feel right or taste right. Even the small jetcopter felt sluggish to his touch. He was getting it down too fast and up too slow. But that, he knew, was really caused by his nerves. Usually he was as cold about these jaunts as a piece of newly chipped ice; this was his..

The present article will be devoted chiefly to the fragments of the external frieze, and to the figures of the eastern and western ..

The Mannion Court-Martial

The Mannion Court-Martial

by Randall Garrett

He turned away, not wanting to see his wife's tearstreaked face. A torrent of conflicting emotions raged within him despite the calm exterior he maintained. All his life he had dreamed of the Patrol and its glory; he had worked toward that one end. Four years at the Academy, two more in apprentice-work, then finally the commission and the assignmen..

The Poems of Richard Corbet

The Poems of Richard Corbet

by Richard Corbet

The public interest has been of late years so strongly manifested in favour of the poets of the seventeenth century, that little apology appears necessary for the republication of the following Poems. It would, however, be equally vain and foolish in the editor to claim for the author a place among the higher class of poets, or to exalt his due pra..
