A forgettable issue.
Brian Cleeve - The Devil and Jake O'Hara - 3 stars
- The devil attempts to get the better of a drunk Irishman and his daughter. OK, but that's about it.
Piers Anthony - Sos the Rope (2nd of 3 parts) - 3 stars
- Piers Anthony is usually better than this.
Dean R. Koontz - The Twelfth Bed - 3 stars
- An odd world in the future where when people are judged ready to die, they're hauled into a 'death' house and can't get out again. Kind of odd.
K. M. O'Donnell - Death to the Keeper - 3 stars
- A president is assassinated. An actor decides to recreate the assassination in a play. A very scrambled story, not told very well.
Robert Taylor - A Sense of Beauty - 3 stars
- An alien man, fleeing from the destruction of his own home world, harvests beauty and art from worlds which are, themselves, due to die in the near future, including Earth. The story is written in an abstract fashion which just doesn't seem to work.
Isaac Asimov - Science: The Terrible Lizards - 3 stars
- The various families of dinosaurs and similar creatures, some extinct and some not quite so. OK but not exciting.
Sterling E. Lanier - Soldier Key - 3 stars
- The narrator tells a tale of sailing the Caribbean islands and finding one on which the residents have their own unique religion which is dedicated to the worship of a very large variety of hermit crabs. A mild horror story.
