Beschreibung

This issue, we have an original mystery from Mike Adamson, plus a recent tale by Neil S. Plakcy (courtesy of our Acquiring Editors). Classic mystery reprints come from Dale Clark and Edgar Wallace. Plus, of course, a solve-it-yourself puzzler by Hal Charles.
 
I broke out the Adventure category for Vera Shamarin, by William Murray Graydon. It’s an exciting tale of escape from Russia. Not really mystery, but perhaps more suspense, I thought it belonged in its own category. See if you agree.
 
It’s an all-classic lineup from our science fiction writers: Ted White & Marion Zimmer Bradley lead off, followed by Frank Belknap Long, Ivar Jorgenson, and Edmond Hamilton. Jack Sharkey’s short novel, “The Programmed People,” caps things off.
 
Here's the lineup:

“A Reliquary in Stone” by Mike Adamson [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“The Letter of the Law” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]“Oystery Creek” by Neil S.

    Centuries after humanity abandoned a dying Earth, archaeologist Kaelen Vance discovers an ancient alien artifact on a remote moon—a device that holds the coordinates to the mythical "Star-Forge," a celestial factory believed to have created the first intelligent life in the galaxy. Pursued by a ruthless corporate fleet that wants to weaponize the technology, Kaelen forms an unlikely alliance with a rogue AI pilot and a historian from a race of bio-luminescent beings. Together, they race across nebulae and through dying star systems, deciphering clues left by a vanished civilization. But the greatest secret isn't about the origin of life—it's about its inevitable end. A sweeping space opera adventure for fans of The Expanse and Becky Chambers.

    In one single day the entire UK changed, and could never revert back to normality. Bombs detonated in every major city across England, releasing the little known ‘Non Compos Mentis Virus,’ and with it destroying seventy-five percent of the population. However, the virus didn’t kill those who contracted it, but instead infected their minds and senses, turning them in to violent psychopaths that can feel no pain and also gave them a new goal in life; to destroy anyone who does not carry the same virus. Bucky Jackson awakes from a minibus crash that killed most of his school cricket team. Rescued by his friend Johnny, the remaining kids and teachers seek sanctuary inside a hardware shop in a small, Northamptonshire town.As the days pass, they decide to try for a safe zone at a football stadium a few towns away. With every step danger lurks, not only from the zombies that swarm the area in their thousands, but more so from the handful of people who survived the virus outbreak. As their journey continues, Bucky is looked to as a leader to help them reach their destination. They encounter killer clowns, hordes of the undead and an organised crime outfit as well as dealing with treachery within their own group. Bucky must learn to unite his team and teach them to rely on each other, as their journey may be longer than anticipated….
