not think the author had a very distinct idea about the
nature of the invaders.
The stories do not have to stick to cold science, but should
not violate an established fact without a reasonable

"_Literature That Typifies New Age_"
Dear Editor:
As a member of an organization whose existence was founded
through the medium of Science Fiction, I have watched your
magazine closely, and here are the results:
It is all Science Fiction, virile, interesting and new.
A popular edition of these stories with the name of a great
publishing house behind it.
The authors you have acquired are supreme in this field. Ray

Science Fiction fans.
Science Fiction, first introduced by Verne, Poe, Wells,
Haggard and other old masters in this line, is a type of

Correspondence Club extends to your new and most acceptable
publication heartiest wishes for continued and increasing
success. I subscribe myself to the advancement of science
and Science Fiction.--Walter P. Dennis, F. P. S., 4653

new facts and food for thought.
I compliment you on securing the services of such writers of
scientifiction as Ray Cummings, Harl Vincent, and R. F.
Starzl. They are good! Ray Cummings' impressive style, his
vivid imagination, and his knowledge of his subject seem to
me invincible. His stories are always welcome.
Now, concerning the services of other writers of Science
Fiction, I think t
