Analog Science Fiction and Fact is an American science fiction magazine. As of 2015, it is the longest running continuously published magazine of that genre, the June 2015 issue being number 1,000. Initially published in 1930 in the United States as Astounding Stories as a pulp magazine, it has undergone several name changes, primarily to Astounding Science-Fiction in 1938, and Analog Science Fact & Fiction in 1960. In November 1992, its logo changed to use the term "Fiction and Fact" rather than "Fact & Fiction". It is in the library of the International Space Station. Spanning three incarnations since 1930, this is perhaps the most influential magazine in the history of the genre. It remains a fixture of the genre today. As Astounding Science-Fiction, a new direction for both the magazine and the genre under editor John W. Campbell was established. His editorship influenced the careers of Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, and also introduced the Dianetics theories of L. Ron Hubbard in May 1950. Analog frequently publishes new authors, including then-newcomers such as Orson Scott Card and Joe Haldeman in the 1970s, Barry B. Longyear, Harry Turtledove, Timothy Zahn, Greg Bear, and Joseph H. Delaney in the 1980s, and Paul Levinson, Michael A. Burstein, and Rajnar Vajra in the 1990s. One of the major publications of what fans and historians call the Golden Age of Science Fiction and afterward, it has published much-reprinted work by such major SF authors as E. E. Smith, Theodore Sturgeon, Harlan Ellison, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, A. E. van Vogt, Lester del Rey, H. P. Lovecraft and many others.
One of the most historically significant Twentieth Century science fiction series ever published is at last collected. A pioneer in pulp science fiction, Ray Cummings inspired an entirely-new fiction genre with his influential story originally published in 1919, The Girl in the Golden Atom, which introduced the world to a series of short stories and novels known as his "Matter, Space and Time" range.This suite of stories featured the Scientific Club: a group of New York-based socialites of revolving membership who either recounted these tales of fantastic science--or were directly involved in these tales which originally appeared in the top magazines of the 1920s: All Story Weekly, Argosy, Detective Story Magazine, Flynn's, and Science and Invention, among others.This collection assembles all of the Scientific Club stories, sourced directly from their original magazine appearances... most of which have never before been reprinted. In addition, this deluxe edition includes all of Cummings' Scientific Club stories which appeared exclusively in the United Kingdom. It also gathers the later Scientific Club stories from a brief revival in the mid-1930s.No stone has been left unturned for this edition: two hitherto-unknown Scientific Club stories were discovered, and these have been included, along with 26 other stories. And among the many bonus features is a rare, alternate, early version of one of the Scientific Club stories.Rounded out by vintage illustrations by Virgil Finlay, Frank R. Paul, Norman Saunders, Amos Sewell, Modest Stein, and Lawrence Sterne Stevens, and with an all-new introduction by Will Murray, The Complete Tales of the Scientific Club is a book one hundred years in the making.
In the shadows of a 2000s metropolis, detectives Georg Trant and Jac Lombard, the dynamic duo of Ray Cummings' groundbreaking series, stand as guardians against a wave of futuristic crimes. Transporting readers from the author's 1930s origins into a dazzling future, where science and crime collide, Cummings' narrative captures the essence of a world both familiar and fantastically evolved. As key members of the Shadow Squad in New York's Bureau of Criminal Investigations, Trant and Lombard wield cutting-edge tools, reminiscent of their 1930s counterparts yet adapted for the challenges of the 21st century. Entrusted by the Crime Prevention Bureau, their mission transcends typical investigations. From the iconic Shadow Squad Building, they navigate a labyrinth of shadowy alliances and unseen threats, striving to thwart crimes before they unfold. In this riveting blend of detective and science fiction, the duo unravels mysteries with razor-sharp instincts, working as a beacon of justice in a landscape veiled in intrigue.
