@SFFMagazineCovers I wonder what the thinking was for those jagged, very un Earth-like mountains we see in these delightful old pictures, whether it was a design choice or some scientific theory of the time?

In Ralph Milne Farley’s 1939 scifi novel The Hidden Universe an engineer in an industrial colony notices odd things - like the length of the days and the fact that there no stars at night. Some wildly inventive imaginative ideas in this book.

Frederik Pohl’s sci-fi novel Danger Moon was published in 1951. There's trouble on the Moon - suspected sabotage at a uranium mine. Reasonably realistic in the light of what was known in 1951 but basically a very conventional story.

Kris Neville's Earth Alert! is a 1953 alien invasion sci-fi novel. A woman sets out to buy a husband. She discovers she can walk through walls and is telepathic. It's something to do with an invisible alien spaceship. Crazy, frenetic fun.

Hollow Earth Tales, a collection of sci-fi stories written from 1909 to 1939 dealing with the idea of a hollow earth or undiscovered civilisations deep beneath the Earth. The stories are interestingly varied, often outrageous and generally fun.

September 8th is a special date. Two of my favorite series premiered on this date.

On September 8th, 1966 Star Trek premiered on the NBC network with the episode "The Man Trap".

Before that, on September 8th, 1961, the first issue of the pulp science fiction series Perry Rhodan was published in Germany.

F.L. Wallace’s scifi novel Address: Centauri (1955). In the future everyone is physically perfect, except the Accidentals who are very imperfect but long-lived making them ideal for deep space exploration. Deals obliquely with posthumanism.

If These Be Gods is a 1957 sci-fi novella by Algis Budrys. An airliner encounters a UFO. An alien invasion story with some twists and with aliens who might be friendly or malevolent. Interesting for the varied reactions of the humans. Not bad.
