Future Science Fiction September 1952

The cover has a woman with the usual skimpy outfit. She also hs very short hair, which is somewhat unusual. The ad on the inside front cover is for “The Pleasure Primer”. A couple of pages later there's an ad for lingerie.

Then there's a section called Down to Earth which is basically editor's comments and reader's letters. This is followed by an ad for Nylons Guaranteed Nine Months.

The Gods Fear: “They prided themselves on their evolutionary development...emotions were for primitive peoples. But when one of their own number started to behave like a human being...”

Final Barrier: “They'd solved all the technical problems and one ship had landed safely on Mars. But there was a more important problem they hadn't considered!”

Small Fry: “The kid's story sounded convincing, and they certainly acted as if they'd come to conquer the planet...but certain aspects of t heir behaviour just didn't jibe...”

We Will Inherit: “There was a small chance that this sortie might succeed, that prince Teraf could clip the Pharoah's claws. But even if he won, could the inevitable be postponed?”

Then there's a book review page that's continued elsewhere in the magazine.

Confidence: “It must be comforting to hold so high an opinion of one's own value-and, at times, it can be more than comforting!”

Facts of Life: “When sex came to Septimo, a hilarious time was had by all-well, nearly all!” This includes a drawing featuring a nude woman.

There's an ad for a book on the Complete Prophecies of Nostradamus.
