These magazines are a little hard to digest. The stories feel overlong and are mainly in the realm of "scientific adventure", a genre that doesn't greatly appeal to me.
"Brigands of the Moon" and "Vandals of the Stars" were the standout stories, and they are closer to the space opera, pew-pew lasers that I had wanted.
"Brigands" uses an interesting device of claiming to be a straight adventure story that would be published in the year 2080, and that the casual reader of our time would find as amazing as George Washington would find a western. This concept sort of works except that this means by definition that it is a Bat Durston story.
The most entertaining part of these stories, of course, is seeing their interpretation of future society and future technology. "Radiovisors" and multi-lane air highways.

This issue wasn't as good as the first two. I almost gave it 3 stars, but the last story was a good one about an invasion by a giant alien ship. Real, pulp sci-fi goodness.

Reread. One story to be continued. Others complete, focus on suspense, violence, supremacy of man. Opponents from sea or space face trouble, winners.
