Nebula Science Fiction #8

This issue of Nebula, a British science-fiction magazine edited by Peter Hamilton, contains three major stories by established and emerging authors. The featured novel is "Blaze of Glory" by E. R. James, depicting a near-sun space expedition ending in catastrophe. Eric Frank Russell contributes the novelette "Fly Away Peter," described as space-opera depicting a group attempting to build a world free from war and fear. E. C. Tubb's novelette "Episode" contrasts fictional space adventure with harsh reality—its protagonists encounter pain and terror rather than glory. Two short stories round out the issue: "Weather Station" by Sydney J. Bounds and "Wind Along the Waste" by Kenneth Potter, a new writer to the magazine. The issue also features editorial commentary, reader letters, and previews of science-fiction films. The OCR cuts off mid-word in Herald's examination of Peter's correspondence.
