Belletristik / Gegenwartsliteratur (ab 1945)
Beschreibung
This time, we have another jam-packed issue, and it’s overstuffed with three novels (okay, one of them’s a short novel, but still…) by Ron Miller (featuring Velda, his series private eye), John G. Brendan (a well-respected British writer of Golden Age mysteries), and Lin Carter (wrapping up his epic Gondwane saga). Fear not! We didn’t forget the short stories. We also have great tales from Neil S. Plakcy (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), Larry Hodges, Adam Meyer, Josh Pachter (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman), E.C. Tubb, and Nelson S. Bond. Good stuff.
Here’s the complete lineup—
