Džepna knjiga (često nazivana „pulp magazine” zbog stila i kvaliteta papira), koja je izlazila dvomesečno (A Bi-Monthly Pocket Book).

Glavna priča u ovom broju je novela „Shadow of the Atom”, koju potpisuje autor A. J. Merak. Iza ovog pseudonima stoji legendarni i neverovatno produktivni britanski pisac naučne fantastike i horora Džon S. Glezbi (John S. Glasby), koji je tokom karijere koristio na desetine različitih imena. Njegove priče iz ovog perioda savršeno oslikavaju strahove i fascinaciju atomskim dobom, svemirskim trkama i nepoznatim svetovima.

Ilustracija naslovne korice prikazuje karakterističan retro-futuristički stil 1950-ih sa svemirskim brodom specifičnog dizajna, futurističku bazu smeštenu među planinskim vrhovima tuđinskog sveta i astronautima u svemirskim zaštitnim odelima sa vizirima.
