I would like to see sequels to the following stories:
"Marooned Under the Sea," "Beyond the Vanishing Point,"
"Monsters of Mars," telling about another effort of the
crocodile-men to conquer Earth, "The Gray Plague," telling
of another attack by the Venusians, and, most of all,
"Vagabonds of Space." I would like to see a story about
their further adventures about every three months, just as I
see the stories about Commander Hanson.
I wish the best of luck for Astounding Stories.--Bill
Bailey, 1404 Wightman St., Pittsburgh, Pa.
_Come Again_
Dear Editor:
Although I have been an interested Reader of Astounding
Stories since its inception, this is the first time that I
have written; but "our" magazine has been so good lately
that I just had to write and compliment you on your good
work.
There are just two criticisms I have of Astounding Stories.
The first is that the binding sometimes comes off; the
second is the rough edges. I join with many other Readers in
complaining that uneven edges make it hard to find a certain
page and also give the mag a cheap looking appearance.
In my opinion the two best serials you have printed are
"Brigands of the Moon" and "The Pirate Planet." The four
best novelettes are: "Marooned Under the Sea," "The
Fifth-Dimension Catapult," "Beyond the Vanishing Point" and
"Vagabonds of Space."--Eugene Bray, Campbell, Mo.
_How Simple!_
Dear Editor:
Just a few lines to set Mr. Greenfeld right on that question
of how a man could be disintegrated and then reintegrated as
two (or more) similar men.
Briefly, the atomic or molecular structure of the original
man could serve as a pattern to be set up in the
reintegrating machine or machines while he is being
dissolved by the disintegrating machine. Thus, the
reintegrators could reconstruct any number of similar men by
following the pattern of his molecular structure and drawing
on a prearranged supply of the basic elements.
As for the "soul," that is merely the manifestation of the
chemical combinations in the man's body, and when said
chemical combinations are duplicated, the "soul" simply
follows suit.--Joseph N. Mosleh, 4002 Sixth Ave., Brooklyn,
N. Y.
_Both in One Issue_
Dear Editor:
I think it's about time to let you know what I think of your
wonderful magazine. Of course, I have my dislikes but they
are very few. I wish you would make up your magazine larger
and even the pages up. The best complete novelettes I have
read were both in the same issue. They were "Monsters of
Mars," by Edmond Hamilton and "Four Miles Within," by
Anthony Gilmore. Wesso is by far your best artist. Please
keep him. All the other Science Fiction magazines have
quarterlies. Why don't you have one?
