Three favorite series highlight this issue: First, Sherlock Holmesâor rather, several Sherlock Holmesesâfeature in A.L. Siroisâs âThe Matter of Timeâ (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken). Then burlesque queen turned private eye Velda returns in Ron Millerâs original tale, âBig Top Velda.â (You will recall several other Velda stories in recent monthsâand we have more upcoming!). And on the science fiction front, space opera misfit Lancelot Biggs stars in âThe Downfall of Lancelot Biggs,â by Nelson Bond. Fun stuff!
More highlights: Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman has found a real winner in Debra H. Goldsteinâs âHarvey and the Redhead.â (Iâm a sucker for bar stories.) And our mystery novel is by Harold MacGrath.
On the science fiction front, we have dark fantasies from British master John S. Glasby (whoâs in his 90s and still writing) and Frank Belknap Long, plus space opera from Edmond Hamilton and classic SF from Lester del Rey.
