Synopsis

In our 89th issue, Michael Bracken pulls double duty to bring a pair of original mysteires to readers: great tales by Steve Liskow and Welsh-Huggins. Plus we have a crime novel by Johnston McCulley (who also created Zorro—but he tried his hand at a bunch of other heroes and antiheroes, among them The Scarlet Scourge, The Avenging Twins, and a ton of others). There’s also a novel by Western author B.M. Bower. Plus a solve-it-yourself mystery by Hal Charles.
 
On the science fiction & fantasy side, we have classic tales by Randall Garrett and Murray Leinster, two favorites. Robert E. Howard (much on my mind since returning from our trip to Robert E. Howard Days in Cross Plains, Texas) has a Solomon Kane adventure. And last (but far from least) we begin the serialization of Darrell Schweitzer’s amazing Sekenre: The Book of the Sorcerer, a series of linked short stories that come together to form a novel…though each tale also manages to stand on its own. The first 3 stories are in this issue.  Here’s this issue’s complete lineup:
 
Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure:
 
“Nose for News,” by Steve Liskow [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“The Case of the Burgled Bushels,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]“Supply Chains,” by Andrew Welsh-Huggins [Michael Bracken Presents short story]The Voice at Johnnywater, by B.M. Bower [novel]The Scarlet Scourge, by Johnston McCulley [novel]

    Five years on from the adrenaline-fueled days of the Cold Case Squad, PI Martina Monroe is now a managing partner at the renowned, Drakos Monroe Security & Investigations.

    "The Nameless Man" by Natalie Sumner Lincoln is a captivating novel set against the turbulent backdrop of the early 20th century, a time rife with political tension and intrigue. This gripping narrative delves deep into themes of espionage and deception, artfully weaving the lives of characters like the resolute Colonel Calhoun and the enigmatic Julian Barclay, who find themselves ensnared in a sinister web of conspiracy and murder. 
    The story opens with Colonel Calhoun, a man burdened by the ominous shadows cast by Japan as tensions simmer in the Pacific. His heart thunders with a fierce, unwavering concern for America’s military and economic security. In a tense discourse with a trusted companion, he lays bare the depths of his fears regarding espionage and the looming specter of conflict. This opening scene not only establishes the gravity of his worries but also sets the stage for a thrilling drama that promises twists and turns. 
    As the plot thickens, Colonel Calhoun's fate intertwines with that of Julian Barclay, who soon becomes embroiled in the chilling mystery surrounding the death of a fellow traveler, the ill-fated Tilghman, on a clandestine train journey. With each revelation, the stakes soar higher, uncovering intricate layers of intrigue, hidden identities, and perhaps even romantic entanglements that weave a complex tapestry around the lives of these compelling characters. The narrative ripples with suspense, drawing readers into a world where loyalty and betrayal dance perilously close, and where every decision could have devastating consequences.
