Future Science Fiction, March 1952

# Museum Catalog Note

This March 1952 issue of Future Science Fiction Stories (Volume 2, Number 6) contains seven science fiction works. The lead novelette, "Devil's Cargo" by Tom Wilson, concerns hijackers who believe they're stealing valuable marine pelts from Venus but discover the cargo consists of live grellas—a Venusian delicacy they cannot profitably sell. Walter Kubilias's "Go to the Ant" explores what happens when a boy named Donnie encounters an actual Martian visitor and grapples with his teacher's assertion that humans would kill an extraterrestrial. Joseph Farrell's "Fountain of Death" examines the consequences when a character pursuing immortality overlooks a critical factor. Additional stories include S.A. Lowndes's "The Tinkerer," concerning unusual shipwrecks; Tarr Roman's "Captain Barnes and the Law"; and Stuart Friedman's "Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful!" Short departments include "Down to Earth," "The Reckoning," "Headin' and Writhin'," and "Today and Tomorrow." Robert W. Lowndes serves as editor.
