Turnover Point by Alfred Coppel
#Turnover Point by Alfred Coppel series
The “New Features” listed on the contents page include the first of a promised series of articles on the “Science of Man,” by Leon E. The first is puffery: this issue says WORLD’S LEADING SCIENCE-FICTION MAGAZINE at the top of the cover, which also boasts “Katherine MacLean’s outstanding new novelet,” and the table of contents lists this “New Outstanding Novelet,” a “Classic Novelet,” and a “Special Novelet.” The second theme is protesting-too-much discomfort with the mostly-reprint fiction policy, evidenced by the prominent display of “New” on the cover: MacLean’s “Outstanding New Novelet,” “New Features,” “New Article,” “New Frank Herbert Novel.”īut there’s a third, more substantive theme: commendable initiative in the small amount of space left open by the reprint policy. The February 1968 Amazing, the second under Harry Harrison’s editorship, displays two themes on its face, both noted last issue.
